Hmm, my description was rather poor. Another try:

Relative to the mount, the depth of field scale is solid, and the focusing ring is solid. This is different than my description, which was not quite correct. Starting with the inner ring under the aperture ring and focusing ring, everything at the front moves as a unit, but very loosely related to the mount etc. There is about 2-3mm of play between the two assemblies at this point.

Addendum: looking from the rear, just the core of the lens moves, ie. the rear element and its mount, but not the focusing helicoid or the other brass ring in there.
