I got a brand new copy of this lens. I feel the zoom barrel is not as tight as my other EF-S lenses, e.g. 17-55mm and 18-135mm STM. What do you think about the tightness of the zoom barrel on your 10-18mm?

The zoom barrel on my 17-55 is sticky, not smooth - makes zooming in video difficult. Is yours?

My 17-55mm in still quite new, so the zoom barrel is not very smooth. I don't know if it will be smoother after a period of "break in".

Mine is well broken in, but remains sticky in middle range. Fine for stills, but problematic if zooming during video. Unfortunately, I think this is par for the course with many (if not all) 17-55s.
