Should this lens feel like something is loose inside it that moves up and down as you rotate the lens in a tumbling fashion?

Yes its common. What it is exactly I dont know. Saw many reviews talking about it and the start up. Neither bother me.

Yes, but only if there is no power to the lens. In other words if the lens is off the camera or on the camera, but the camera is turned off. The motor inside the lens is floating until the lens has power to it. Hopefully that makes sense, it is a fantastic lens for the price!

There are four 'knobs' around the outside of the lens; three of the fourth pivot and the four remains fixed allowing the lens to come off. HOWEVER, while the fourth is fixed and doesn't pivot, the lens is not held in place and will fall if you aren't careful. I do love this fixtures and highly recommend them!

Send it back immediately- Amazon is great about returns. Mine is as solid as a brick and is the best built lens I own. You will see when you get another one back.!

It is the same with mine. I've had it for a few years and still has a sort of internal shake inside which doesn't sound good but it still seems to work fine, both focus and IS.

I've gotten used to the way mine mounts I guess. I would describe the difference as "clunky" or not as smooth but it shouldn't be a significant difference. It's an excellent lens that I shoot with weekly.

I wouldn't say it's as bad as "clumsy". But it does a slightly front heave with the motor zoom lens on the front. If you use other sony prime lenses it feels balanced.

Nope. Keeps sliding off. Definitely not worth it. I was really excited for it but once I got it and set it on my lens it just kept falling off.

Mine does the same thing. Not pleased with it at all. It will also come loose form the lens real easy. It just won't stay tightened. Don't know what else to buy. I just quit using it on my tripod. Wouldn't recommend this at all, I give it a 00000000!!

Screw in center needs to be tight...no wobbly...and the rotation quit on mine after a short time (couple weeks of 24/7)...a little light lube might get it going again...I suggest 3-in-one oil...sewing machine oil...don't get it on the lens or it will crap it out...I used P-B Blaster and it wasted my lens...but it quit spinning again very shortly ,so that was a moot point...hthy...Hobbiehubbcapp.

It's actually the optical image stabilization.. normal, yes. Lens cover, no.

Once attached to the lens with the proper adapter ring, it will not freely rotate.

I put the lens side rearward; since it is leather, it should loosen up; I believe I remember it was tight at first, then perfect after a short while. Also, I use the strap as added protection to keep it from sliding out, and perhaps you can use the same strap, to pull it out until it loosens up.

If you are trying to slide it by pushing on the lens itself it wont slide, you have to slide it from where the lens meets the mount, then it should slide, if it still is not sliding, then send it back....

I have found that it goes on easily in the correct position, but seems to get stuck on the lens when reversed. It has been stuck so bad, that I thought I was going to damage the lens getting it off.

This is a silly question but is it tightly on the camera? I've had that happen twice. The first time it was loose. The second time it was on "no flash"

I don't have issues with lens creep at all. I've owned it for a couple of years now. It's on my camera 90% of the time.

sorry what you mean movement? to which extent?it's heavy camera have some plastic parts, but still strong when i shake it juts move but not noticeable, this i think stabilization sensor but in fact i try this camera it's great i think you should check you warranty maybe you return it or change it
