CN-E Compact Servo Lens Rocker/Handle Attachment LANC Port

Spassvogel — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 12:13:18 GMT

I have a question about the two CN-E servo lenses (The 18-80mm and the 70mm-200mm). I suspect I know the answer, but wanted to check here.

I have read the manual for the lens, and there's a zoom controller port that seems to only work with the $2000 ZSD-300D zoom demand controller. Some sellers of the CN-E Compact zoom lenses include the optional zoom rocker/handle attachment. Does that attachment have a LANC port on it, that would work with the Canon ZR-2000?

This forum is intended for EF mount consumer lenses. I would suggest that you post this question in on of the Professional Video forums. Or, perhaps a Moderator could move this thread for you.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask the question here. This part of the forum is labeled Professional Video, and the lenses are EF mount.

To the OP, I would suggest that you talk to a dealer or directly to Canon. I can only relate my experience with the C100 mk2. Here too, the Remote socket is listed as for use with a dedicated Canon remote control with no mention of LANC. Low and behold when I tried a simple stop/start and zoom LANC controller it worked fine.

Hi! As the item in question appears to be neither a camera nor a lens, we moved it to the Video Accessories board as we felt that was the best fit for it. Carry on!

Not helpful Danny as the op quite clearly states that he is talking about CN-E Servo Zoom Lenses!

Yeah, The CN-E Compact servo lenses are EF lenses. This is the most sensible place to post it. Now it will be in a forum that almost nobody frequents, so thanks for nothing Danny.

Local Pro camera/video employees don't know anything deep about these products, which was why I posted here.
