I have the same thing, small rattle of something moving like few mm's. It doesn't affect the lens' performance as far as I'm concerned and you can only hear it if you shake it which you don't during videoing.
Probably a really dumb question but here goes. I just picked up the Nikon version of this lens since I decided to try and just use one damn adapter type and when I shake the lens, it feels like something is knocking back and forth. My canon doesn't have this it all. Anyone else out there experience this? The seller on Ebay is trying to tell me they've never experienced this when they had it but it seems to be a common QC issue from the factory. Think I got had here!
@Ralph_B My bad! Here ya go. It works like a charm and solid as a rock. My Nikon should be here soon. So far non of the other chinese Nikon adapters focus to infinity for me. Hope this one does!

All the same @leejb4
@vicharris Please post the link for the tripod adapter. No need to be secretive about it.
@vicharris, thanks for the link. I may grab one .. initially .. I intend to use a lens support on rails which holds the lens in addition to holding it up.
This looks like a really interesting lens. Up till now, my favorite 35mm is an older 35/1.4 Nikon because it has a unique bokeh from the 9 blade iris that can do "fade to circular highlights" trick, which is kind of cliche but still cool. But this lens looks really sharp wide open and the Bokeh looks good. Holy cow, it is big. Any place to get it for cheap?
You're going to need one with a tripod mount. I tired one like the bower and when you use a FF, it moves the whole camera and lens. Tried 3 different types. These lens are just too large for the GH2. I finally bought a $22 tripod mount one on ebay and it sits like a tank now! Don't waste your money on that expensive one. I'll find the link and PM you with it. Just ordered a Nikon one just like it too for the Tokina 11-16.
I think they will put up 24mm Cine version too, I am waiting for. I messaged the FB Samyang Asia page and got reply for July-September timeframe.
@vicharris Sorry to hear that. There's no other way. On the day 1, test. On the day 2, test. And so on.
