Alan.
I have this lens too and it seems to me that the focus is a bit loose too.I palm hold
my
zooms and it
would take nothing at all to move focus. Someone mentioned a few years back there were
several
small screws on the lens that could be tightened.The only ones i saw were up close to
the
k mount
end,3 screws i think,but i'm not sure they are the ones.I tried to tighten with a small
jewlers
screwdriver but nothing moved.May be they are as tight as should be.
I only use the A 70-210 f4 now on a monopod or for macro shots.
To big of a pita for hand holding now.
