Thank you for the prompt reply. All my Pentax Zoom Barrels start creeping out when I walk with the camera + lens. I am a Travel Photographer and this is very annoying. Can damage the lens and rattle the elements inside causing lenses to shift off center.

Zoom Creep exacerbates with the shoulder string strap and as the lens ages.

Surprisingly all my Tamron & Sigma lenses have Zoom Locks.

I've never had this issue with a Pentax zoom with the exception of the 18-250 which has a lock.  Among others. I've used the 18-55, 55-300, 16-50, and 50-135 extensively without issues.
