MAC 250 Krypton Spot Size

I am learning the new lighting system installed. The ION console controls two MAC 250 Krypton moving lights. I can use the "focus" and sharpen the edge of the spot and tighten the beam to some degree, but not as far as I want for certain situations. I want the ability to focus and tighten the beam much smaller, i.e. move from a wide beam with a sharp edge that illuminates a group of several people head to toe, down to the upper torso of one individual.

If these lights cannot focus and narrow the beam in such a manner, is there an intelligent spotlight that can focus from wide down to near infinity?

You need a light with a zoom or iris, the mac250s cannot do it. I know the Mac550 can but they don't make that light anymore. When you move to the much bigger lights you get shutters too that let you shape the beam.

The 250s come with just a focus, it is a fixed beam angle.

Suggestion for a good spot?

Can you recommend a good moving spot light that works well with the ION console?
