Have you noticed that when you focus on a subject with this lens that it also affects the ZOOM/Size of the image? This is anoying when we do pull focus... Are we doing anything wrong, or is this an inherent weakness of the lens?

Maxene, you're doing nothing wrong. It's the lens. The 16x breathes a lot. But when you look at the price of the camera as it sells, with, or without the 16x, you too will realize that JVC basically gave it to you. When you think of it that way, it's actually a rather remarkable lens. Just stay in it's friendly zone...

Thanks Eric... Do you know if the other lenses available also do this?
