jaapv Posted April 24, 2018 Share #41 Posted April 24, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) There must be a variation between camera’s. Mine has a lateral translation movement although I would not have noticed without this thread and a minimal rotational movement which is irrelevant, but pitch and yaw, no.

vsel Posted September 5, 2019 Share #42 Posted September 5, 2019 Hello all. I experienced the same amount of play on my TL + 23/2. Also used to the solidness of the M mount and found I could not enjoy shooting with this wobbly/untight feeling. Measured the locking pin and the corresponding recess, both 2,5 mm. I found the play to be due to excess play between the camera-lens mount. Customizing the mount mechanically myself was out of the question, but using some strips (2,5 mm) of transparent packaging tape applied securely to the outside circumference of the lens mount fixed the problem. Still a very small amount of play, but in a totally different league. V. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you share a photo of the fix itself? Much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted June 4, 2020 Share #44 Posted June 4, 2020 I have this problem with R lenses through adapter. Both T and CL. I thought it was the adapter, but then same problem with L 90-280mm. (no adapter). With TL zooms, no problem at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodachrome Posted June 4, 2020 Share #45 Posted June 4, 2020 My 55-135mm has a bit of play. (on a T, TL2, and CL) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted June 5, 2020 Share #46 Posted June 5, 2020 On my CL the 23 has a couple of millimeters of radial play, nothing I noticed until this thread and I tried it. No shakiness. My 55 7 Artisans is tighter no radial play, the Leica M to L has the couple of mm play, maybe a little looser than the 23, this may be the width of the locking pin.
