Lens mount loose on 80D with 100-400 ll.

Is it possible to adjust the lens mount on the camera to take eliminate the slight movement of the lens?

A little looseness is normal!! it's a clearance allowance for expansion and contraction due to temp. changes and mfg. assembly differences.

Was told that I should disconnect the lens after use and not travel with the lens attached. Leads to some play in the interface?

I have had my 200mm macro attached to my D810 since 2008 except when I used the sigma 150-600 sport and the 24-120 attached to the D800 a year longer and the play has never changed.

I’ve never heard that one before. But, I can tell you that I’ve travelled to/from Alaska by air and cruise ship and from Tulsa to Chicago to Santa Monica and back to Tulsa twice via motorcycle and several trips to Texas and Colorado also via motorcycle. My 80 D has traveled the entire way with one of my various lenses mounted. The only time I don’t have a lens mounted is when I’m changing from one lens to another.
I’ve never noticed any play in the mount, but after your email I checked and sure thing, just enough play that I can feel, but hardly enough to see.
There has to be some play or you would have trouble getting the latch to engage/disengage. Besides, we couldn’t afford them if they were manufactured to that tight a tolerance.

Here's a discussion of the issue on DPReview, with a solution towards the bottom, not something I'd do though.

Out of curiosity I just checked my 18-140 on my Nikon. There is very very slight play in it. I'm thinking it's normal.
