In order to get the motor a chance of turning that lens, the lens play is considerable compared to a MF lens. In fact, if you haven't used an AF lens you would feel it wobble in the mount. That makes for differently focused areas in the picture, (for example if you have the center focused the top won't be and the bottom won't be either, because it tilts due to the play) as well as the lens moving at the slightest touch in manual focus mode.
