Can anyone show me an example of Zoom Creep?

Question

Looking for some pictures which certainly demonstrating this problem on Nikkor lenses.. I am about to purchase the lense and want to be able to distinguish.

Answer

I own an 18-200 VR and it has a bit of creep. If I have the camera hanging on a strap with the lens pointing down, it will sometimes slowly extend out to 200mm. If I have it at 18mm, it will usually stay put, but if it's at 50mm or so, it may exhibit the creep. It's not a big deal to me.

Here's a video:
