I'll second that. I've rented this lens several times, and usually it's been smooth as silk. I'm renting one this weekend from LensRentals.com, and it appears the one they sent me was purchased this month (i.e. it's two weeks old). It's stiff compared to the others I've had.


Twist the ring, and push the little round button!

Mine is brand new and does stiffen up slightly then turning the zoom ring when close to 24mm. Seems to be a normal thing so I wouldn't stress about it.
