Rollei 35 loose lens?

I received a Rollei 35 LED as a gift recently. I've put a roll of film through it but I've yet to get it developed. I noticed as I was loading a second roll in that the lens "end" appears to be loose. The silver barrel is tight and locked to the body with no play but the end with the control seems to wobble. All the lens controls appear to work otherwise.

I was wondering if anyone with experience with these cameras could tell me if this a normal amount of play? Or is this damage that I should get repaired? Thanks!
