I've never had this issue with a Pentax zoom with the exception of the 18-250 which has a lock.

How do you like the Pentax 18-250?

I have a good copy from 2009.  It is a Swiss Army lens that works surprisingly well for all sorts of things like climbing, travel, outdoor events and concerts, etc. where changing lenses is not a good option and wide to tele coverage is desired.  I've printed to 20x30 on the K20D.  Here's a few shots of concerts and the Galapagos:

I've got many lenses that cover portions of this range with better IQ, but none that do it all like the 18-250.  Sometimes it is the right tool for the job.  Now if only Pentax would issue an upgraded version that was WR with HD coatings . . .
