I recently bought a 1.4 to replace my 1.8 MkII. Whilst I am generally pleased with the upgrade, I have noticed that there is a fair amount of side-to-side movement of the "inner barrel" (the part that moves in & out when focussing). When I compared this with the 1.8 I noticed something similar, but the heftier build of the 1.4 makes it more noticeable, to the degree that if I pick up the camera quickly when the lens is attached I can feel the movement in the lens (a light "clunk" is the best way I can describe it). Image quality seems fine (though f/1.4 DOF up-close takes a bit of getting used to!); I just wondered if this movement in the lens is normal-perhaps some other owners of the same lens could comment?
Many thanks in advance!
