Is it common for the lens to "wobble" even when in the locked position?

Yes ,the lens has a "floating" housing for the image stabilization to work. the lens will always wooble as you say. There is no problem.

When I received mine, the outer rim/ring surrounding the fisheye lens was very loose. It doesn't come off, but I can move it around. Was anyone else's like that or is it just normal?

Hey how are you. I would recommend a wide angle lens to minimize you touching the focusing ring and making the stabilizer wobble. For the price, I can honestly say this is one of... If not the best you'll get. Comes with a nice carrying bag, weights and the stabilizer ready to go after balancing. Any other questions feel free to contact me.

There's a tab that locks down onto the lens preventing you from "unscrewing" the lens out counter-clockwise. If you look at it you should be able to see what I'm talking about. You can use your thumbnail to push that tab up and rotate the lens counter-clockwise to release it from the adapter. Hope that helps.

If the release mechanism doesn't work properly and it is stuck, be VERY careful. I damaged two lenses with a cheap adapter that was not machined properly. Take it to a pro if you are not good at working on things.

Do you have a filter on the lens? If so, try it with no filter. Something might be interfering with lens movement.

I don't know. Ask the vendor. I've never had any problem with mine, although I wish it were a faster lens. But, then, the $ would have been faster too.-amicuscuria.com/wordpress-

Mine was the same way, thought I'd gotten the wrong lens. I contacted Olympus and they said it shouldn't be like that and to exchange it if I wanted. I didn't want to mess with it and it has become easier to put on and take off without making the mounting too loose for my other lens. It worked itself out.

I have had this happen a couple of times on my camera (purchased December 2011). I am not sure why it is getting stuck like that; when it happens for me, the whole camera freezes up. The only way I have found to "un-stick" the lens cover is to pop the battery out and put it back in, which seems to "re-set" things.

This is not an official statement but I've been shooting a lot. And I 99% use single point AF, manually setting focus point according to my subject. I never noticed a left focus or lock up problem.

Yes, its by design. The lock is supposed to stay on the outside and essentially stop the wobble as you tighten the bolt. So tighten the bolt, let the lock stay on the outside as it will basically resolve the wobble perfectly for you. All you'll have is a slight amount of back/forward movement once you've locked it in place. I cant remember exactly but I think you need to use the middle hole so it doesnt allow the lock to slide inside.

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!!

yes there is a lens lock on it but I have not had issues with it sliding without using the lock while taking pictures in a downward angle.

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.

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

It is not the lens covers rattling, it is the optical element unit inside, could be because of the image stabilization mechanism as Vincent stated, but whatever the part is, I find it impossible to believe that this the way a major manufacturer like Canon designed it. Probably the latch designed to hold it when powered off is broken and not grabbing it. That said I don

One of mine became stuck on the lens and I worked it loose using slow but firm pressure. With the lens still attached to the adapter, you might have a little more leverage. A camera repair person might anchor the camera in a vice and dislodge the adapter with a screw driver and hammer...but VERY, VERY carefully. It's not something I would try unless you are really comfortable around tools. Wish I could be of more help.
