"Lens Creep"
Nov 12, 2013 16:13:50 #
I have a Tamron 18--270. When taken pics I keep my left hand(fingers) on the lens adjust ring. When not in use I engage the barrel lock.

Do you work on Tamron products? Can you tighten the lens creep AND clean the internal dust build-up on a Tamron 18-250 f/3.5 for Sony lens? If so... HOW MUCH? :mrgreen:

If you think creep is to be expected on a lens that costs $700+ then maybe, just maybe, you are buying from the WRONG manufacturer... http://onnidan1.com/forum/Smileys/classic/tiptoe.gif
Cholly, like I said, it's the price you pay, for the privilege of using the BEST !!

Super glue at any focal length and walla..You got a prime. Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, one member said he use his finger to hold it a whatever focal length he wants. That works quite well. If a manual focus lens.....that don't work.

Yeah...and I saw a 18-135 lens on a Canon today that has a lock slide for lens creep.

I only ever had one lens that had lens creep, the Canon 28-135mm. It had it really bad, just needed a slight tilt and it started to creep something terrible. I just quit using it a long time ago.NO... My lens (Canon 24-105) is not a creep... B... (show quote)

Nikon's 28-300 has a lock similar that on the Tamron (see photo above). ;)
Yes, my Canon 70-300 L has a lock as well.

I have a 18-200 Nikon that creeps. I did use the rubber band trick KIND OFF. I used one of those bands that go around your wrist. It is wide enough and you can slide it up or down if you do not want to use it at the moment. You can get them in a lot of different colors though I have never see just black.
It works very well for me.
