The VX-II and above don't seem to have this problem.
Mine where VX-II's.
I guess I should qualify my statement by saying the VX-II and above that I've looked at or used were never nearly as bad as any of the VX-I I've checked. The VX-III have a different adjusting ring that gives a lot more leverage, and though the ones I've owned were a bit tight, there were nothing even remotely close to the VX-I.
