Re: Zoom lens not behaving.

As above your question has been answered, but I think the real query was like me , when you first got the ccamera and found this magnification you presumed the camera had a much longer zoom than it has.

i had the same thing with the 20-50 lens the preview picture was much larger than the photo you could take.

As I wanted to tha photo,s of  birds in my garden about  30-40 feet away I have just bought the 50-200 lens , I expected it to be able to take close up shots of the birds at  this short distance but it really doesn't at all.

Another problem I found with the lens was when I tried movie recording if you use the zoom at all , all you can hear on playback is the noise of the lens moving in and out.
