Yes
I have an Olympus 9-18mm lens for a micro 4/3 camera and it’s a good little lens but the focusing ring is right on the front edge and is very easy to rotate. I was using it in some fairly challenging circumstances yesterday where manual focus was the only real option and I found that I kept accidentally changing the focus.

Is this a common problem or is mine just loose? Is there any way of making it less easy to rotate?
 
Thanks @sk66 I guess that is something like a wide rubber band? sounds like it may well do the trick.
 
What camera do you have it on?

As it is FBW you can adjust the sensitivity of it on some of the Oly cameras (I think).

It's on a Panasonic G3 but it was dark and the G3 being fiarly old now was struggling to focus on anything.
