The first said he has had this happen with two zoom lenses in the past. It was attributed to high-frequency vibration from the plane which vibrated a screw loose in the zoom mechanism, causing it to jam in position. The only cure is to send the lens in for service. The second, from Barcelona, said his 24-90 is stuck at 35mm. He returned it yesterday to his dealer for repair. Sorry I couldn't send better news.
