This is called a varifocal lens, as opposed to a parfocal. A varifocal require that 
you refocus when you change focal length. It can be a pain to use, but it allows 
greater flexibility in optical design. The Vivitar Series 1 28-105 was such a lens.

A zoom? Nah--I hope it's a multi-focal length lens akin to the excellent 
Leitz Tri-Elmar (28-35-50) or the new Voightlander ultra-wide/35 in the 
Leica M mount.
