Play in my lens?

Yes
After attempting a bit of manual focus practice over the last couple of days I've noticed that there is a fair amount of play in the front part of my kit 350D lens (EFS-18-55 II).

There's about 1mm of in/out play and about 0.5mm of left/right play.

Is this normal? Should I expect this because it's a cheapo lens?
 
tis normal
i went to jessops with mine to check, got some funny looks!
 
Don't worry - it's normal. My Canon 28-135 wobbles around a lot when extended but as long as it isn't moving when you take a shot it won't matter.
