As if the magic of gravity is pulling on it. Now I have noticed a small lock button on the lens but the only seems like it works with the lens fully closed and even then I have never locked it as it is too hard and fiddly to do. I hope I have made sense of what I am saying lol I don't understand why a lens would extend open when shooting things on the ground (or pointed vertically downwards) Do I have a faulty lens or am I missing something? Thanks in advance :) [/QUOTE]
