I have a lens that fell onto a carpet, quite a soft carpet, but I was concerned I may have damaged it. There was no immediately noticeable damage, it fell on its side so focussing elements and front and rear elements were not impacted.
I tried walking about taking photos with different settings and can't make my mind up about its condition.
My concern is that internal lens elements may have been pushed off centre.
If I gently shake it, it slightly rattles, more than others of my lenses.
I considered trading it in but if it is damaged I wouldn't feel right doing that.
How should I be testing this lens?
