Thanks Clint. I might have a look at the mounts, lens and camera and see if there is any deformation or play. Of course, since this is the OM4 that I dropped onto cobblestones in Trier some years ago, I might finally have found the damage it caused...

That's not unheard of. Most of the larger/longer/heavier OM lenses have a tripod mount, but not the zooms (except for the 85-250mm). The camera's tripod mount wasn't designed to support that much weight. Yes, using it to hold up a heavy lens can deform the casting causing all sorts of different
problems.
