You're right I was out on the date. The zoom creep is quite slight on
mine but it is there when I'm actively out and about. It does not
particularly bother me. I agree it is a better lense than the 28-105.
Actually, itwas built in the early 80's. You might be thinking of the
28-105, or later Series1's that are not as good. That's the first I've heard
of zoom creep on those. Mine's always been nicely snug.

I have the 28-90mm and it identifies as a 2.8 but its really 2.8-3.5

subject to a bit of 'zoom creep'. It was part of the second line of
Series I lenses built in the early 90's
