Hmm, sound concerning to me.

Have you checked it with someone elses lenses fitted ... might be yours causing the problem ...

And ... just in case you don't get around to it in the "Welcome" forum ... ... to TP forums Paul ... enjoy

Should be fine so long as the contacts are linking for autofocus and aperture control (obviously).

But you may want to get it checked just to be safe as this may affect the weather sealing on those lenses and that body.

It's pretty normal to feel a slight play - don't worry about it as long as the AF and everything works as Warspite says.

Canon weather resistant lenses have a rubber seal on the back of the lens which presses against the camera lens mount and largely removes that slight feel of 'play' in the lens which is more noticeable with longer lenses anyway.
