Sorry for answering late. I always forgot to check my 35-80 at home. 
I remembered it has some play, but I wanted to recheck.
Yes my Zuiko 35-80 has quite a bit of wobble in the frontbarrel. A 
few tenth of a millimeter, more than any of my other zuikos (14?). I 
think that shouldn't be the matter with such an expensive lens. 
Otherwise I am happy with it.
