Howdy, all - I finally purchased a used Canon 100-400 L lens from a private dealer. The price was good, and I was worried about the quality of the glass, but the shots I took from the one time I used it looked fine.
However, the push-pull zoom is really stiff, especially at the long end, which is where I'd planned I'd mostly be using it. I have played with the friction ring, but the zoom is still very stiff, especially from 300-350 mm, and so stiff from 350-400 it takes both hands to slide it-- not too practical for shooting sports! I can send the lens back, but I thought I'd see if any of you all had any ideas how to make the zoom slide a bit easier before I do.
