Example of parfocal issue

A quick, no frills example of the parfocal issue that many of us (Robert, Steev, Reinhard, myself at least) have experienced with the XF. Please pay no attention to exposure/framing - I just wanted...

I have mine sitting snuggly in a Pelican 1520 with foam padding if this helps (sans mic holder). You couldn't put it in anything smaller length and width wise.

Right Noa, but you introduced the comparison, it's not really fair to have it both ways. The XF is twice the price of the XH where I live and worth every penny.
