I don't know how to explain the shaking of lens best so i made a little gif animation but i can't upload gif on this website so here's the link of the gif file
This is 18-55mm Nikon lens that i got with my D3100 in kit when i bought it, from the very beginning the lens was acting like this.
This lens, as you can see on photo, have focus ring from outside and you hold it moving left and right so focus ring is going out and in and i noticed many times that focus ring is not holding still, it's rather shaking like it's loosen a bit, It doesn't matter if VR is on or if it's on Auto or Manual focus.
When i hold focus with my fingers and move it left and right the focus ring is shaking a bit. I have a friend with DSLR but all 3 lenses he own are with internal focus so i don't have to compare my lens with other. Is this normal for this lens or maybe my lens is torn out a bit?
