The headline says it all. My summaron 35 f2.8 iris ring has a bit of movement in it. The lens works perfectly. Anyone had this issue before? Is it worth a service to cure (is it possible to cure!)? It's a great lens

Do you mean forward and aft rocking, or lateral rocking between indents?

 

 

fore and aft. I suppose I was hoping to find someone with experience of it. I don't really want to pay someone £100 to take it apart just to tell me 'yes that's worn there's nothing we can do.' ;-)

Although I no longer own that lens, but did own it for 30 years, and never experienced the issue you describe. It sounds like somebody reassembled it without properly tightening all components to factory specifications.
