When I got my 28 cron (new) there was more play in the apenture ring than I have had with any other leica lens.

Not only beyond f/2 and f/22, but also in the other direction.

 

I talked about this with the store and they told me its normal with the 28 cron.

Later send the lens together with my camera to leica (for calibrating my camera) and asked them if they could take a look at it.

 

Got back they checked the lens and everything was working like it should.

 

So the loose aperture ring should be normal for the 28 cron.

 

First it annoyed me, but after using the lens for some time, and looking at the images it produces, you totally forget it and just enjoy the lens.

 

I have a 28mm summicron which I purchased new and is flawless

But f/16 is the highest f stop and not f/22 as you mention above
