I have just purchased a brand new "EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM" lenses for my Canon XT, but i have discovered something.
The Zoom Ring feels a bit loose, not by much but it tilts slightly when turned to either side. It actually feels more like vibrations than tilts.
Try this, put the focus ring on 85mm and try to tilt it a lil, left, right, forward, up
Why am i worried, because im wondering is something broken or loose inside, or is this normal and common in lenses. I mean i just purchased it from a newly arrived stock and i'm SURE no one touched it before me.
Is this normal or am i just paranoid, I should be, it's my newest lens. Does anyone have or has had similar situation?
