Hi Stephen,
Understand your explained problem.
My mount and aperture are secure but the mount/aperture barrel is not secure to the filter barrel.

Hi Haris, the wobbling was between the mount/aperture casing and the filter holder casing.
Wish I could find a diagram of the lens.

Bit of a Heath Robinson fix but it worked. Heat Shrink seams to be holding it together, if a lasts for a trip to Mull later this year I will be happy.Comment Image

I have a fix in mind if it works, waiting for a delivery.

Cheers Haris, Know what you mean, I'm getting a little to old now!
Yes, the lens unusable without the fix.
