There are countless photographers around the world for whom the EF-S 17-55 is an unattainable dream and here we are talking about creep... Or hating the need to lock the 18-200 at 18... I guess some people hate the safety in their guns too...  Sometimes we need to pause and get some perspective... You obviously have never tried to shoot something at an acute downward angle while your lens flows out like a trombone slide. Paying a grand for something that doesn't work as advertised is not a 1st world problem.

Doesn't affect the AF.. Only makes the zoom nice and tight  Just bought a sample to give this a try. Thanks for the tip!

Lbsimon ...never exercised in my life  More info | Nov 24, 2013 20:56 | #26 My 15-85 creeps. But then I realized that it only happens when I carry the camera with lens pointing down. Now that I use the BlackRapid strap, I just carry the camera with lens in a horizontal position, and the problem is solved. As somebody above mentioned, when shooting, my left hand always supports the lens at the zoom ring, so it is not an issue either.

The lens band sits partly on the zoom ring and partly on the focus ring which doesn't move in autofocus mode anyway.
