If it really bothers you THAT much, here's the fix: Peel back the rubber focusing ring and rotate the ring until three (or four) little screws line-up with the access hole on the ring. Those little screws tighten or loosen little teflon spacers that control the 'barrel creep'. If you tighten them (very, very slightly), you should eliminate your barrel creep. Remember, 'less is more' when adjusting the tension on the barrel.

Hey upside down, I remember looking for these on my 24-70, and I couldn't find thme by taking off the focusing ring. Is it different on some lenses? I'm not anxious to figure it out, but curious.
Hey Robert...Let me clarify the procedure on the 24-105; Once you peel back the rubber focusing ring, there is a single (one) access hole on the exposed focusing collar. You have to turn the collar and line-up the adjustment screws one at a time. I'm not 100% that the 24-70 is the same but I'm pretty sure it is. Maybe you missed the access hole on the collar because there's only one hole and you might have been looking for three or four access holes. I know the first time I looked for it on the 24-205 I missed it too. I had to take a second look before I spotted the access hole and realized that I had to turn it to each adjustment screw one at a time.
HTH,
Omar
