LENSBAND Lens Band (Red)
The red Lens Band from Lens Band is a unique solution to an age old problem. When using zoom lenses, especially extra long zooms, there is often a tendency for the lens barrel to "creep", i.e. extend due to its own weight when pointed either upward or downward. The Lens Band presents a simple and unique solution to this issue. The strong silicone rubber band stretches over the zoom ring of your lens and holds it firmly in place.
In addition to preventing this kind of problem, it also aids when shooting with a tripod where slower shutter speeds may be required, such as in macro photography when operation of the zoom ring may not be required. For anyone who works out in the field and carries or hangs his camera over his shoulder, lens creep is a common problem that can cause undo stress on the both the lens and your back. The inexpensive Lens Band offers you a straightforward solution to this potentially nagging problem.
It's easy to use. Stretch the Lens Band over your lens. Position it over the zoom ring when not in use. When ready to use it, slide half of it over the non-moving portion of the lens body. The pressure of the band will prevent the lens from slipping out of place. Just make sure the Band does not interfere with your focus ring.
As an added benefit to the Lens Band, it can also be used to remove filters that have become stuck. It works on manufacturer's filters from 67mm to 110mm or 2.75" (7.0 cm) to 4.5" (11.4 cm) in diameter. With the firm grip it provides, filters can be loosened without any potential damage to either the filter or the front element of your lens.
- Fits many popular zoom lenses on today's market

Corrects the flaw in the design of the original Tamron 18-250 zoom lens. Eliminates the need to lock the lens btween uses.

Comments about LENSBAND Lens Band (Red):
Works great. It is the same poly plastic that free bracelets are made from.
That's why I gave it three stars. I think I paid to much.
I likely will go to a convention and pick up the free bracelets from charities that I support next time. Then it's a win-win for both.

Comments about LENSBAND Lens Band (Red):
I use the Lens Band on my Sigma 135-400mm. No more lens creep! Only negative so far is that it is difficult to move in and out of position with gloves on; but that minor annoyance is much less a bother than the lens creep. No more cradling the lens in my arms while hiking!

Comments about LENSBAND Lens Band (Red):
I use it on my Canon 28-135 kit lens which is notorious for lens creep. I find that the band has to be positioned very precisely. This lens tapers on the end of the barrel. If you don't position it perfectly it will either pull off when you telescope out or not be touching the inner barrel. I even considered applying some sort of adhesive to hold it, but as I said, if it is positioned perfectly, it works "OK". If your lens is not tapered at the end it might work good and then I could recommend it more strongly.
