20-50/3.5-5.6 transport lock

I've just got my new/refurbished 20-50mm (I) and I am noticing that I have to dis-engage the transport lock by pulling the lock release button in order to switch from operational/zoom mode to transport mode. Which is normal.

However, when in transport mode I can start zooming without releasing the transport lock button. It requires just a tiny bit more of a rotating effort to switch from transport to operational/zoom mode. Is this normal? I would expect to have to again pull the lock release button to transition from transport to operational mode.

This is normal, has been this way on mine since I got it with the NX100.

I always found this to be a nice feature, since you can just "got for it" from transport mode without having to engage into unlocking a switch etc...
