How much play should there be in the end end of the lens away from the camera body?

I have an EF 16-35 mm 2.8 L II USM lens that has some use, but not extensive. The end of the barrel seems to have an unreqasonable (to me) amount of play in it. How much should I put up with?

There will be some movement.  This is normal but without actually seing it, our judgement of what is too much may be different.

EOS 1DX and 1D Mk IV and less lenses then before!

Thanks for the reply, but all I can really say is that it is way more than the other lenses I have, and they too are all L series lenses.

You probably need to have it looked at.
