Joaquim (and Charles) : the solution is to roll back the focusing ring
rubber to expose the three tiny screws underneath it, then tighten those
until you get the right amount of 'feel' to the movement. Don't overtighten
or you will have a very stiff lens!

Hi Joaquim,
I don't know of a screw that you can tighten to alleviate the problem. I
have a couple of these lenses as well (all three of my Grandfather
mountain
slides that placed in the competition were taken with this lens). It is a
great lens. My solution to the lens creep problem is to carry some sticky
labels and affix one between the lens and barrel (is that the right word?)
to hold it in place. I've seen others use a rubber band as well. Hope you
find this helpful.
