I prefer shaving both areas. Kudos to Eleanor.

That's strange, since my 18-270 has a lock to keep it from moving when I carry it. It does creep when the lock is turned off.

I am referring to shooting, not carrying, Bud.

Zoom creep. Very common in zoom lenses. Two choices. Live with it or get rid of it. I have that lens as well, and over time it loosened and creeps. So does my Canon 18-200mm and my Canon 15-85mm. It is an all too common phenomenon. There are thick rubber bands made especially to hold wayward zooms lenses in place at any focal length. If you have the PZD version of the lens there is a lock at 18mm. If yours is the older version which I suspect, there is no lock.
Mine is the PZD.

I own that lens and yes you will get lens creep. I also get lens creep with my Nikon 18-200 so it happens with many super zooms. I use a lens band that I can slide into place if I need it (which I rarely do). they are cheap and look good. If you are not worried about looks, use a heavy duty rubber band. I station the rubber band on the focus ring and then slide a portion of it forward (on to the zoom ring) to keep the lens from creeping when needed.
I have the rubber band and it is a pain in the assets. It helps with the creep. However, I should have emphasized that half the time, if it isn't creeping, it is stiff in some spots. Do any of you suffer from stiffness?

Fellow Hoggers, Last year I purchased the lens (USED} and was as happy as a hog in a trough. I had a perfect (for me} walking around lens. It wasn't until lately that I noticed that not only is the zoom stiff, BUT when the camera is pointed downward, the lens moves on its own to the full zoom position. At this juncture, I am at a loss as to what to do. If you have had a similar problem, especially one that had a happy ending, I would appreciate hearing from you. As a reminder, I bought it used. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
