Could anyone with a Summaron 35mm f/2.8 or an 8-element Summicron check the play in the aperture ring for me? I'm not sure if this amount of play is normal, as I haven't handled this lens in many years and have completely forgotten.

Normal for a lot of Leica 35mm lenses.

Very normal, it's if they are firm and hard to turn you've got problems.
