Aikidomayland found a great deal on a Canon 18-200. Found out it had a quirk.. a rather well known quirk.
Len Creep. It's not a problem if shooting while being hand held, but if I want to do some long exposures skyward, or straight down, lens creep becomes a serious issue.
I did a bit of web searching and found several references to a quick rather cheap fix. It worked.
A wide rubberband is all it took.
Close look:
Pointing the camera straight up, lock off, and it stays where I put it. It causes just enough friction/resistance to keep the lens position at both ends of the zoom and all places in between.
