I borrowed the 100-400L from a friend once.Originally Posted by dannat
Found it as annoying as watching an Oprah marathon.
But, I suspect that, once you get used to it, you'll eventually see it as second nature.

Not at all, provided the firmness is set to what suits you best. When that's set right, the push-pull is very smooth indeed. Cheers

I wish all my zoom lenses had push-pull zooming.
I find that when you are twisting a ring for zooming, you tend to make the camera sway about as you are doing it, whereas with the push-pull, you can keep the camera steadier.
Much better for chasing birds and other moving objects where you are zooming in and out all the time.

All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
I agree with the others, I actually prefer this style of zooming. The tightening ring is also realy useful as well
