I purchased aNikon 24mm AI-S lens from a well known online film gear supplier this week. It is in good nick apart from the fact that the focus ring is very loose to focus in that there is barely any resistance when turning the ring. Potentially more serious is that the focus ring is almost loose and the front element moves with it, so if you're looking through the viewfinder you can see the frame jump as it sort of 'clicks' forward and backward.
This is in no way about the camera company as I have no doubt that they will be helpful if I want to return it or raise the issue with them, I'm asking if a) has anyone else got Nikon AI-S lenses that this happens on, i.e is this common? b) Is it actually not that much of a problem?
I could send it off for a service with Miles but don't want to spend out on it if it is possibly 'defective' and I could just return it.
Thanks
