I brought a Olympus SP and the lens seems loose, how do I get rid of the play, it is wobbly when you grasp it from the front, about 1/4 inch. Any ideas??

You have to remove the lens mount from the front to deal with this problem. This involves taking off the top and bottom covers, then peeling back the leatherette on each side of the lens to reach the four screws securing the lens mount to the body. Don't try this as your first camera repair project.

Haig is quite correct-this is not an easy fix-try it at your peril.......
