Hello all

Just bought a used 28-85 af Nikkor off of Ebay.It is my first zoom  AF lens.

The lens barrel is very sloppy and loose in the focus ring. It has about 1mm of in and out slop in it.  It also has radial play in the barrel. It is so slopy that the focus changes when the lens is pointed down after focusing when it is level.Is this normal or is something coming apart or broken inside.

I understand that auto focus lens are very easy to turn so that they do not draw a lot of current. But this just doesn't seem right.

The lens seems to focus good.  

Thanks
