I was taking a picture point upwards fully zoom and it started to unzoom itself. The lens can hold itself when its fully zoom in a horizontal stance, but when its in a vertical stance the lens will zoom but inverts itself. It cant hold itself at full zoom in the vertical position. Is this normal? Current: Canon 40D w/BG-E2N, Canon 30D, Canon 10-22mm, Canon 17-55mm 2.8 IS w/EW-83J, Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS, Canon 580EX II, Crumpler 6 Million Bag, and B+W MRC on all my glass.

After time the friction will go away and the zoom will be a bit more smooth, the down side to that is that you focal lengths will slip when shooting at an upward or downward angle. Mike

I usually hold my lenses by the zoom ring for stability, so If it does start getting a little loose, it shouldn't be too much of a problem... Regardless i LOVE this lens 350D + Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 DC Macro
