Thanks Clint. I might have a look at the mounts, lens and camera and
see if there is any deformation or play. Of course, since this is the
OM4 that I dropped onto cobblestones in Trier some years ago, I might
finally have found the damage it caused...

That's not unheard of. Most of the larger/longer/heavier OM lenses
have a
tripod mount, but not the zooms (except for the 85-250mm). The
camera's
tripod mount wasn't designed to support that much weight. Yes, using
it to
hold up a heavy lens can deform the casting causing all sorts of
different
problems.
