May 08, 2019 14:12 | #1 I bought this lens from local market for cheap to replace 55-250mm STM lens. When I hold lens down facing either floor or ceiling, lens is zooming in / out. There is no auto zoom while facing subjects in normal angles. is it normal for this lens. Just making sure that it is not a issue with barrel or lens. Canon RP with 24-240mm

No more creep. Or if you want to get fancy, get a Lens Band. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

It doesn't move while taking pics. It only moves when it is pointing downwards. Canon RP with 24-240mm
