Can this do variable zoom? By this mean can I adjust the lens to show varying distance from the subject. So not a fixed magnification but variable

It is not variable. The adjustment merely brings the subject into focus like a binocular.

sounds like you need to adjust the eye piece, " the lens nearest your eye ". There's a lock ring behind the zoom adjustment , loosen this ring and twist the eye piece to meet your needs. Hope this helps you.

No, there is no means to fix the lens to a specific focal length. The total length of zoom ring travel is just shy of 90 degrees, end to end. The demarcation on the zoom ring, L to R as seen looking down at it as if it were attached to the body, is 24 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 15 - 14. The only hard control is the Manual/Auto autofocus switch.

this lens does not have an adjustable zoom. What u c is what u get. Better 4 still shots. Focusing is another issue. on a moving subject u would want to use A I Servo mode while holding shutter button 1/2 way down then fully down to snap pic. Im not fully exper with this lens but i believe it would b difficult to to obtain non blurry pic if not exper'd. With practice I SUPPOSE ONE COULD MAKE IT WORK. Just my opion

There is no knob for zooming. It is accomplished by moving the body up or down within the clamp. There is a separate bezel for focus however. Quality good for what it does and price.

No it will not zoom. On high the batteries last about 3 hours. On low batteries last about 6 hours.

No. This lens is a fixed focal length and you can only adjust the aperture and focus.

Zoom is controlled on the lens. This camera is like a miniature dslr where you can have different lenses attached. The lenses will generally have a focus ring and a zoom ring which depending on what direction you twist them, will zoom/focus in or out.

It can't zoom. You can buy, pretty cheap, different screw on lenses. I guess in a way you can zoom. You attach your telephoto lens. Then you can slide they lens in and out of place, to go from telephoto to the regular lens that us on the ipad. I hope that makes sense.

The projector doesn't have a zoom. The adjustment on the lens is for focus only. You would have to move the projector to a spot to fit your screen and then focus the picture. Our use for this projector is as a portable option.

The viewfinder does indeed zoom with the lens - I got the camera out to check. It works really well. The only time I notice that the viewfinder and the lens can get out of sync is when you're vey close to a subject (e.g. in a macro situation) and there's parallax. In such (macro) cases it's best to rely on the screen on the back.

Technically no, this lens has a fixed angle of view equal to the normal perspective. You could however "Zoom" with your feet by moving yourself with the camera nearer or farther, which in turn teaches you about interesting perspectives. As a result of this "foot zooming" giving you different "looks" on your subject, your photography will surely improve!

No. This is not a zoom lens. This is a prime lens with only one focal lenght. No zoom!

No, this lens does not zoom. It is amazing but you might want to look at the Panasonic 35-100mm 2.8 lens.

No. The magnifier can adjust to center in the field of view of the magnifier whatever is being magnified.

Yes and no. You can adjust the speed before you engage the motors, but it isn't a true variable speed zoom. You cannot adjust the speed of the motor once they have engaged.

The zoom is totally manual...you control it manually. I think your question is: does the lens keep the subject in focus as yous change the zoom focal length? Yes it does.
