While I'm shooting it's rarely a problem. It's at it's worst when I
turn the camera over while transporting it that it slips down over a
couple of seconds. It only took me 5 months to figure out how to carry
the camera with a long lens to prevent it from banging into everything
I pass. Duh!

Mine has not broken yet. However, I getting really pissed at
Pentax. My *60-250 behave pretty much the same way, and there is no
lock at all to prevent it from slipping to full zoom when pointed
down, or to some percentage of full when just resting the camera on
my chest waiting for an image to reveal itself before me.
Anyone else find that this high end high dollar piece of glass
behaves thusly?

There is no off position to the genius switch.
Genius can, however, be observed as insanity.
