Thanks Don.  The sloppiness of the ring does seem at odds with the quality
feel of the other lenses that I have.  I also picked up a 24mm f/2.8 ASPH.
The clip on lens shade feels loose when it is on the lens whereas the shade
on my 35mm ASPH is tight.

I presume that with tight tolerances a millimetre here or there can make
quite a difference to the feel of a lens.

I, like you, feel that the aperture ring on the 135 could accidentally move.
