Zoom Lens
What are the settings change when you zoom and focus in a zoom lens?

Suppose I have a 70-200mm zoom. I zoom to 130 mm and the mean, press the shutter button to auto-focus, something moves inside the lens and adjusts its target. What are the parameters of the lens has changed in the two previous steps, respectively? For lenses with a duration not to change the focus, there is always a focus ring to be adjusted, what's the difference?

A true zoom must stay focused on the same point at any zoom range. A variable focal length objective without constant goal is called a variable focus lens as the Vivitar Series 1 35-85mm Vari-focal F2.8 zoom Many of the changes the actual opening of the zoom range, so are two parameters f case cited, in contrast to zoom very good tend to have a constant opening throughout the zoom range. http://photography.suite101.com/article.cfm/vivitar_cult_classic_camera_lenses
