Who sets the exposure and then changes the zoom? Uh, I do it... about 300 times during my shoots. And I absolutely cannot have my exposure change for any reason. That's fucking bullshit.

Imagine this... you're shooting at 2.8 and now because you zoomed I'm shooting at F5, and I have to bump the power on my lights and re-meter everything. Come on. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Anyone who says "Who sets exposure first (to the widest possible aperture no doubt) THEN changes the zoom length?" isn't a fucking photographer.
