Barso23 Member 79 posts Likes: 1 Joined Sep 2009 More info | Sep 10, 2009 10:48 | #1 Anyone want to venture a guess on the % of copies out there (24-105L) with Lens Creep issues? I know on forums once can always find a thread on this from a user that's having issues. That said, I gotta believe a lens cosing over $1k will not have this issue, new or used. Am I wrong in my assumption? Interested in getting your feedback. Thx.

Creep problems tends to be worse with time. My 28-135 and Sigma 18-200 can't be held downwards without creeping. Quite bothersome to try to photograph from a bridge and whenever you let go with the left hand to do something, the lens expands to full zoom. Or trying to get some pictures of something on the ground. I think it's a UT date code, so 2005. It's my most frequently used lens. It's loose but not exceedingly so. If it bounces around it will creep. Website
