Just received this neat zoom in an otherwise perfect shape. sadly there is play almost everywhere. Touching top lens group (the large upper ring) actually shows some side play too, not a lot but still. Aperture ring is just too easy to move although still click stops can be heard.

Any ideas how to approach this? Any instructions on how to tighten things up? It looks Mint and want to keep it. Might be capable of taking fine pics as is, but this is not a typical behavior for a Pentax lens and first in my own rather large stall.
