The only consumer zoom I've seen recently that does this is the F80-200 4.7-5.6 (coincidentally, the same lens I put up for sale here last week). It zooms internally, but when you focus, the front of the lens rotates and moves in and out a little bit. I'm sending the two lenses we have at the store in to Pentax for servicing, so I should have a couple nice examples of the F80-200 when they come back.
