100-400 Lens slight play between body and lens?

Hi 

I have just noticed that there seems to be a slight bit of play between the camera body and the lens not circular but a forward and backward motion,  the body is an XT2 and has no issues with other lenses, just wondered whether this was normal and I had not been aware of it before  

many thanks in advance for any feedback

I shoot with this lens for thousands of shots of my grandsons sporting events. I am using an X-T2 and have had the combo for probably 4-5 years, I have no play between the camera and lens. I use a mono-pod for nearly all shots, and Idonotice some rotational movement between the two, there is no horizontal movement of play between the lens and camera. If you are not having the issue with other lens', then the lens mount plate out be loose. As mentioned before, you need to get this looked at in order to get in-focus results.

Thanks for the feedback surprisingly I do not seem to have any focussing issues at all but I'll have a look at the mounting plate to see if the movement is there, as I said earlier the 'wobble' is so minute  we are talking about the thickness of a piece of  masking tape

thanks for the feedback I have checked the lens mount plate and the screws at the bottom of the lens were not tight I have retightened and the wobble is no more hopefully it is fixed but I shall keep my eye on it
