From one thing to another! Seeking some advice here about the 31

My copy has become kinda wiggly in the front end, dont remember exactly but i dont recall it being this loose when i got it. It wiggles a bit all the way back to the focus ring, and the focus ring seems kinda loose to. The lens clunks (sound) often when i grab it from the bag.

I know thats kinda normal today with lens barell wobble, but it just doesnt feel right.
I already issued a RMA request to B&H so i guess i already decided what to do, without any advice from you guys But knowing myself, theres an itch now, that wont go away until i do something about it. If next copy wiggles, well then... everyone probably does

Hello everybody! Time for me to post in this wonderful thread. I really like the shots here! Two years ago I bought FA31 and instantly fell in love with itīs rendering. This year I had the fortune to buy both 43 and 77 -both early models! I have to say that these lenses are really special, but I think you all know that already.

So here goes:

Oh for sure, even at idle it sounded awesome. I love supercharged Mercedes V8s.
