Any practical old fashion zoom available for AF100?

Yesterday I shot a cable sports show of a celebrity interviewing, guess what, other celebrities. I almost brought the AF100. It hasn't yet paid for itself (with all the accessories) so I want to get it on any gig it is suitable for, but thank God I didn't bring it! The client wanted to do live zooms when necessary since these celebs have no time to stick around for reverses, etc.

These were typical two guys on a bar stool scenario and I fortunately had brought a HPX370 for it. So, is there any real, adult size, servo zoom lens that will work in such a situation? A real smooth zoom as in live shot?

Thanks
 
No servo zooms I know of unless you count the PZ45-175 or the new Fujinon S35 cine zoom with a servo. The only other large sensor servo zoom that readily comes to mind is the 18-200 on the Sony EA50. Otherwise, servo isn't really a large sensor thing.

I've done some live zooming with a few lenses:
Leica D 14-50/2.8-3.5 (no aperture glitching at f4 or smaller)
Panasonic 35-100/2.8 (nice)
Sigma 50-150/2.8 (nice)
