I have just received my DA*16-50 and should have a stupid grin on my head, but the light is naff

Just having a play with it and I notice that if you start from 16mm and turn the zoom ring, it gets quite stiff at about 28mm.

Do other people's do this?

Yes it's a trait of the lens, mine certainly does and it has been widely reported on various forums.

Thanks Greytop. I was getting paranoid about my new baby.

It is normal because of the dual barrel extension. Is a little odd to get used to as it is not fluid like the 50-135 or other lenses.

Both my 18-55 and 28-80 have always done that
