I always liked the idea of image size tracking but I've never owned a body that supported it, I must confess to using the power zoom more than once shooting amateur drama productions and candid portraiture in busy streets with the 28-105 power zoom on a MZ body, battery drain was never a problem with the AA battery pack.
