Almost all lenses with Internal Focus designs have focus breathing issues - just a matter of how much.

You will need to buy a parfocal lens design to avoid focus breathing. Those are high priced optics - usually only found in cinema lenses.

The focus breathing issue was mentioned in a review of Jan of 2015

Ah, that would be why I didn't see much mention of it. I tend to not seek out his reviews that often. They're a bit too clinical for my tastes. Goes to show I should read his blog more!

Thanks for pointing that bit out though!

And to clarify, I was more asking if that much focus breathing was normal for the lens, not so much if focus breathing happened at all. Sorry that I wasn't clearer on that.
