I just received my long awaited DA*60-250 (courier problem, the package was sitting in Miami for over two weeks).

Anyway: WOW! IT LOOKS REALLY NICE!

No pics to show yet, but I did have a look on the lens itself and found the extension tube of the zoom just a bit wobbly fully extended. Is it normal on this quality range lens?

Oh BTW, SDM is still working. Did not fail during the first short test.

Congrats, I'm sure you'll love it, post some pics, and post a review on the lens database

I love my 60-250 in spite of it's AF going kerplunk.
And I'm a die hard zoom lens hater, so this is a big statement for me.
There is a bit of wobble in the barrel at maximum length, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.
