I've owned the ever popular 24-105 f/4L IS Lens since early 2010. It has seen it all. (Literally! LOL.) After 6 years of good service, it still works like new. No creep, etc.
The 24-105 Lens Hood (Bayonet style), if anything, is TIGHTER than when it was new. That hood has endured a lot of abuse to protect the lens. It has never fallen off. Sometimes it can be a pain to get it lined up when I flip it around to reattach it to put it back in the lens bag. But I can always rely on it to stay attached like it's glued on.
I was excited when I received the new 24-70 f/2.8 II with the button lock hood and easier/smoother attachment. (Since I have had great luck with the 70-200 f/2.8 II hood which is similar.)
Unfortunately, the 24-70 f/2.8 II button lock lens hood falls off easily. It's too loose and when hanging at my hip, it has fallen off numerous times and no, my hip is not hitting the button, it is always positioned to the outside.
Anyone else have this problem? The hood doesn't look broken, cracked or otherwise compromised. It just doesn't stay attached as well as the 70-200 hood. Why?? I think it might flex a bit easier but I'm not sure.
Thoughts?
