Another techie question.... I just noticed that one of my lenses (Tokina
50-250 zoom) seems to have a fair amount of angular play in the lens
mount. That is, when bayonetted into my OM4T, after the latch clicks,
there seems to be several degrees of before the lens hits the mount stop. I
can wiggle the lens back and forth between the hard stop and the locking
pin. The lens is solid perpendicular to the mount (no wobble). My questions
are: how much play is "normal" or in spec, is there any problem with this
slight amount of play, and, if so, is it something easily correctable via a
normal CLA? I would think that there might be a small error in the lens
aperture information coupled into the metering circuit - not a problem with
ttl auto, but could it give a poor exposure in spot mode? Any thoughts or
hard data will be appreciated!
