Hi guys, bit of an odd question and I know I am going to either get laughed at or shouted at but here goes nothing lol.
I bought a Tamron 18-270 f3.5 Di II VC a few weeks ago and today I noticed when shooting something that is directly on the ground my lens decides to extend fully. 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
