I have owned the Sony 200-600 for a couple of years, but just noticed that the collar does not fit snugly, and allows a slight wobble of the lens body when clamped to a tripod by the foot. Tightening the screw that locks the lens rotation does not fix the wobble. Obviously a problem when trying to achieve maximal sharpness, especially at the long end of the range or with longer exposures.
Have I just missed this in the past, or has my lens collar gone bad? I usually use a RRS Long Lens Support Package which stabilizes the lens on both ends, so the wobble is not an issue. But I don't want to always have to use the support, as it adds weight and bulk to my kit.
