EF 85mm f/1.2L II - wobbly wobbly

[fluter]

Hi guys,

I just got my brand-spanking-new 85L II in the mail. It works great, but there's a slight problem with the feel that I don't know how to react to. The focusing ring feels somewhat wobbly - every time I grab it, it shifts sideways, not catastrophically, but noticeably. I googled the issue and saw one review that talks about this wobble, but since there wasn't much else I could find, I'm looking for a second opinion here. Is this something that I should report to the seller and should I have them replace the lens? How many of you 85L users did this happen to?

Thank you very much.

I've read in a couple of places that the focus ring is wobbly, actually.

What do you mean by 'wobbly' - what's the direction of the movement? The focus ring always rotates very freely, since the 85L lenses use electronic manual focus (focus-by-wire). When I grab the barrel of mine in one hand and the focus ring in the other, I can transversely shift it very slightly, but it's not something I've ever noticed when using the lens.
