I got my Pocket Cam today, tried several lenses, they all seem a tad loose in the camera mount, slight wiggle back and forth. Anyone else experienced this?
The SLR Magic was the worst, but still,had a slight amount on the Pany/Leica 45mm too, which was tight on the AF100.

I have sorted out the cause of the lens mount movement. The lens locking pin has play in it, allowing the lens to move a little side to side, as you turn the lens after it locks. The mount is snug, but not as tight as my Nikon or AF100.
DOES ANYONE else have this issue, or is the locking pin supposed to have a little play in it?
I need to know if this "normal play" for Pocket cam, or do I need to return it for...?
Thanks.

From what I have been able to find out, slight amount of play is normal according to BM.

I found less play on the BMPCC than on my GH2.
