Re: How to lock 70-300L @300mm ?

There is no way to lock it at 300mm, the lock is design for transporting the lens only, so that the zoom will drop if you have the camera pointing down.

This lens (the 'L' version of the 70-300) has a zoom lock but it only works when competely zoomed out (70mm). When at 300mm it does not work.

How can I lock the zoom when completely zoomed *out* ? Is there a trick for it ?
