The zoom on my trusty 70-200 f/2.8 is stuck at 200mm. Its an older unit that I bought used quite a while ago and has always served me well until this started.
It was getting tight and now I can't move it by hand and I'm not trying any more. Other than the zoom being stuck, it continues to work fine.
I'm not sure but I suspect that -from the way I sometimes carry it and the blazing tropical sun- has caused sweat to get into the zoom ring and dry out.
Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it?
Any suggestions to free it up that don't involve sending it to a shop? That will be quite difficult from here and will be the last resort.
