Hi Joe Had to check, my memory is not what it used to be. When powered off the 28- 105 zooms back to 55mm approx. and infinity on the focus. If the power zoom feature is not engaged, well then it stays were it was left on the zoom ring, ditto when switched to manual focus.
I'm curious now about the MZ-s, not that it would bother me at all. Checked with the ZX-5n.
