Sure - sorry if I wasn't clear. When I rotate the focusing collar (which is almost the entire outer shell on this lens) and then rotate in the opposite direction there is a bit of play before the focus changes. I suspect there is something a bit loose between the shell and the focus helicoid. I would try and fix it myself but for two things: (1) the lens cost me $2K used, and (2) the lens focus mechanism is really complicated, with two internal sections that extend to 2x the lens length when close focusing. I admit the issue is relatively minor, but I use this lens for macro handheld and the play in the focus mechanism is a bit maddening.
