Since I first started reading about the lens release button issue, I have kept a large paper clip in my camera bag (just in case).
I also read that if you keep your finger pressing on the button while attaching/removing the lens helps prevent this problem from happening. This way the pin is not sliding against the lens as you turn it, and the pin won't "snap" into the lock position. The pin snapping into the lock position is what concerns me the most!

Thank you so much ... I do think I need to keep a paper clip, just incase. I appreciate everyone's help in here SO much. Oddly enough, I've been rocking this sucker with my electrical tape. HaHa! It's held on great and seems to have solved the issue so I'm just leaving it be and hoping for the best
