If you hold the lens in your hand (not mounted) with the locking knob on the right so that tilt is in the up and down axis. You can tigthen the lock nut, tilt down and lock the locking nut with the lens in your hand. The downward tilt tightens the locking nut excessively. You just have to be aware of whats going on and pay attention to what you are doing. It\'s totally avoidable by keeping the tilt locking nut loose until set. Have you ever noticed that shifting does not tighten the shift locking knob when you shift? It\'s becasue shift doesn\'t rotate and the locking knob maintains the set tension becasue the rotational factor is missing Just keep the tilt locking nut in mid rotation and the problem will go away.
