17-85IS lens creep?

[Oren]

Mine has a B+W UV filter as well - I doubt that a hood will cause it to creep... actually, if you can cause my lens to creep by putting a hood on it, I'm giving you my 50D + 17-85 as a prize! []

Colin, would you like me to send it using FedEx or UPS? haha lol





Anyway, I'm with Bill here. You (guys) also forgot another situation - what if one is using their lens on a tripod which is pointed down or up? Should he put his hand on the zoom ring while using a tripod? That would be ridiculous.





Bill - call Canon.

Oren: You got me, there. However, I would counter that in this age of high ISOs and phenomenal image stabilization, who needs a tripod?Peace!
