zoom out a lot or a little? those lenses may have strong focus breathing
Yup. Either this or didn’t notice that the lens zoom had loosened due to age and wear and it was slipping because it was being pointed up. Focus breathing would be a first guess though.
I just tried this - Lens is off the camera (and has a lens cover for both ends) sitting looking straight up. I turn zoom ring until the lens is fully extended. I wait a bit then I check for zoom movement and found that the lens was still fully extended.
I don't know if this is a valid test because sitting on a table - the lens is not getting any electricity from the camera body.
Well the issue can be when it’s tilted up that if you let go of the zoom ring it’s heavy and might slide back from gravity. Laying flat it isn’t fighting gravity heh
I had the lens pointed up. It was sitting on the camera-end cap. I was not holding the zoom ring for this test. It held the zoom for the test and remained fully extended.
Ah I gotcha. Then more likely it’s something focus breathing.
