Hi Alan, Yes, absolutely -- I think that would probably happen if these two screws were tightened too much, and this is a certainly a risk when one tightens the screws to reduce or eliminate zoom creep. Seems like you could replace old washers with new ones from the local hardware store, as I don't believe there's anything special about them. Don't know if anyone from the list has had to do this with a loose A 70-210/4. I may try this at some point down the road if I start to notice zoom creep again.
