Mine is exactly the same but it's like new in all other respects so I don't
think it's caused by excessive wear. When first mounting it on the camera
the focus 'slop' is mildly irritating, but after a few minutes of use I stop
noticing it and the results from it have always been excellent. If there's a
quick fix I'd be interested but otherwise I don't think it's worth worrying
about.
