Different tracking speeds

G'day, just a quick tracking question, If I buy a tracking mount and it tracks at a set sidereal speed would that speed cover all lenses, do I need different speeds for different lens powers etc?

Doesn't matter what focal length [magnification] you use, sidereal
tracking rate does the trick, although most mounts also have slightly
different rates for the sun and the moon.
