Re: Zoom Creep Lock

Dear John, my Pentax 18-135 WR Lens is the WORST for Zoom Creep. Got badder after some use. I bought this lens brand new from B&H in 2014.

I found no convenient space on the lens barrel where a rubber band - thick or a thin one - can be used. John can you please post a photo of the same on your lens??

These friendship bands are very cheap in Bangalore considering they are made from high quality synthetic rubber + neoprene- 20 to 25 cents each. So I bought some dozen in various diameter and thicknesses + stretching force.

After I changed from a neck strap to a shoulder sling strap the zoom creep on the 18-135 lens has increased.

As I said before all my Tamron & Sigma Lenses have Zoom Creep Locks.

Thanks for posting solutions to all of you.
