Maybe I'm being too critical. I'm still getting used to the idea of a plastic (albeit glass-filled polycarbonate) lens, and mine does rattle tiny bit if shaken lightly. It's not a problem though, as the slack (and rattle) is taken up as soon as power is turned on. I think it's just an idle state thing. I DO love the weight, or lack thereof, of these lenses though. I could carry it and the camera combined in my hand all day without it getting heavy.
I have a ton of the old Ai lenses which I will never part with. Most of my stuff is done in manual mode anyway, and autofocusing is handy but entirely unnecessary to my way of use. I would, however, like a VR one day.
Cheers
