Is using more than one lens for video/film okay?

[Ryan Elder]

On the topic of zooming, there is a lot of filmmakers who don’t like using it cause it looks old, but why does old automatically equal bad? For example, a lot of people like high key film noir lighting from old movies and want to try to emulate that style today.

So does old style zooming always equal bad, or what is most viewers problem with it exactly, just cause it’s different than what they are use to?
