Was just wondering how much would it cost to fix the lens creep on my 24-105 L. I know the rubber band trick works too but sometimes the rubber band slips or doesn't successfully stop the lens from creeping as much without it.

Call an attorney, as a major undisclosed flaw in design by Canon has caused irreparable harm to your mental and physical health. This must be worth at least a few million bucks if properly presented to a jury! Handle this correctly, and you could end up with a great lens collection for free!

From the factory, that zoom ring was TIGHT. Very tight. After I sent to Canon for calibration it came back much more lose, but no creep. Still no creep though after many months, so maybe it wont? Mine is 6 years old and doesn't creep. Sometimes, I'm called a creep. The lens may develop creep, but I already have. And I'm proud of that!
