Re: Parfocal not so important in WIDE-NORAL zoom as in Telephoto Zoom

I disagree, if you ever shoot SPORTS, that total 3 ~ 6 seconds lost due to camera re-focusing after changing zoom range is DEADLY.

If your system is taking that long to get focus you have a serious problem and it isn't a lack of parfocality.

Try a modern DFD body and lens - it is all way faster than I am.

Yeah, I shoot watersports.
