<< I rather doubt this is a feature of the IS lens line but since it's my only IS lens, I'm wondering if this is normal. >> Lea It may well be normal: Iooked at a couple of examples of that lens in camera shops and both showed that behaviour. I didn't buy them for precisely that reason. If I owned one I'd probably come up with a non-destructive fudge involving tape / wide rubber bands. Maybe Willem-Jan knows the definitive answer. Bob
