Simple question for 24-105 f/4L IS USM owners: does your 24-105 have any zoom creep?
I'm thinking of upgrading from the notoriously creepy 28-135 and I'm wondering if the 24-105 will creep me out, too...

The zoom action on it was notably firmer than my 24-70Ls which has freed up a lot over time. Still no zoom creep on it, though. Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

Stationary and pointed straight down does not creep (not like a superzoom 18-200VR). Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis of a government
