here's a nice read on zooms... is this what you had in mind?

excerpt:
"but the crew “mostly used lightweight zooms that I had specially made from two Nikon digital still-photography lenses, a 28-70mm and an 80-200mm,” says Wood. "

Photography zoom lense doesn't maintain focus as you zoom in and out. If you're planning to do that the image will just be a blurry mess unless you spend big big money.

Depends on the lens. I have a cheep Nikon 70-210mm that holds its focus.

I have read great things about that 28-70mm f/2.8 Nikon.
