jijhh Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I have a shot in an upcoming project that has an assortment of dollies, pans, and focus racks. We are shooting on an XTR with a zoom lens (comes in a package). I have heard that zoom lenses have a tendency to breathe or slightly change the framing when racking focus a lot. Is this true? Any way to avoid it? Any lenses that aren't as susceptible to this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some of the older Cooke's are very good when budget is tight. You need to test individual lenses! Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
