Usually these have some kind of felt or other ring that rubs against the outer collar, and there's not much you can do to fix them once that wears out or loses its resiliency. It's a common problem even with some expensive zooms that should have been better, such as some of the Nikon AIS zooms. One thing I've seen that can work is if you can cut a strip of tape, electrical or the like, and apply it to the lens barrel where it goes under the zoom collar. It's not very attractive, but it will put a little drag on the zoom. |
