Hi Pascal,

I just tried mine (70-180 2.8) on the R8 and the lens just locks into place
and doesn't move.

And there isn't any movement as you are experiencing with any of my lenses.

I guess it is one of those questions you should ask directly of Leica.

I don't think it is a flaw if you have been getting your images sharp and
nothing seems like it is about to fall off the body. However if it gives
you concern I'd ask the technical folks of Leica directly.
