does any one know if there's a solution to stop the 24-105 L series lens from extending whilst carrying the camera on a strap ( i currently use a blackrapid strap) i have the 100-400 L series and you can adjust the friction to prevent it extending uneccesarily
PS totally over the moon with this camera
at present at turtle bay ohau enjoying some warm weather after Canada's -10-15degC
Your problem is called "zoom creep". I have read where lens owners have place wide rubber-bands on the end of focusing/zoom tube, allowing overlap to also touch the lens tube. The added drag of rubber on metal prevents zoom creep.
i don't even think about it, when i bring the camera up to eye level most times i have to adjust the zoom anyway.
Some lenses have a 'zoom lock' to prevent 'zoom creep.'
