I posted earlier about the uberness that is the AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 GII ED. I've used it a number of times over the past couple of months. I also mentioned it has a zoom lock, but didn't think I would bother. Well, let me tell you after using this lens for several casual photoshoots, the zoom lock is a nice feature.
I normally use a BlackRapid camera strap and today while I was doing some street photography I had my 18-200 mounted. When the lens was zoomed around 35mm and hanging on my hip it constantly extended out to the 200mm all on it's lonely. It was weird. And then I remembered, "Oh yes, there is a zoom lock". I used it and problem solved.
The only problem is you have to remember to switch it off unless you want to shoot only in 18mm. However after a few minutes I naturally switched it off while I was bringing the camera up.
Bottomline, a nice feature on an already amazing street photography lens.
