Video darkens during zoom with fixed aperture lens

I just checked my Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 zoom lens on my 7D (firmware 1.2.2) and there is absolutely no exposure change when zooming in and out while recording video. Must be a lens issue, I guess.

that's correct. this is a specific canon zoom lens issue (as described at length in the thread).
