I'll gonna try that, if I get the camera this week.
It seems that that small piece of news hasn't yet hit the Nikon ML buying public!
The Tokina 12-24mm f4 DX also doesn't/didn't focus breathe.
FWIW my loyal Canon 17-55f2.8IS doesn't have focus breathing, too bad despite that it's not good for video since IS is noisy, and the zoom mechanism isn't that smooth, Wonder why Canon is still refusing to update this lens and Canon EF 50mm f1.4, it has been ages since their launch
Ok, good then. And now you learned that your 17-55mm, just like the other Canon 17-55mm's, does focus breathe.
