Mine has also some "wobble". But except from the LTD lenses I
haven´t seen any AF lens without that. Well I haven´t got any FA*
lenses.

No I haven´t notice anything like that. Could be some dust inside.
Even though it feels a bit "plastic", in real world use I find the
mechanical quality quite good. Ok lets see what I say in a few
years :-)
Optical it is really super (for a zoom) I haven´t made real test shots
but the slides I have back until now are really super. Sharp,
contrasty and really low distortion at the 24mm end.
