Hi. I just realised, that FS100 can control focus in kit lens by LANC controller. So, if i can do that, i have more questions:
1) How about another sony E lens? All lenses can be controlled? I think yes..but all is possible ;)
2) This also work via sony LA-EA1 or LA-EA2? Don't need autofocus after all.
2b) Sigma/Tamron/Tokina on sony A?
3) There is metabones and mxcamera/techart adapter to canon lenses. I'am only interested to control focus via controller, and in specs it's maybe possible.
4) Sony announced 18-200 with Power Zoom. I think, it also should work on lanc. Someone can confirm that?

Thank you :)
 
What's a difference? I think, all of these controllers send commands in this same way. It has a zoom rocker, focus +/-, start/stop. And if this can be done via controller, maybe i can buy better, like manfrotto or libec. On all my previous cameras (fx1,nx5) it's pretty usable for crane or steadycam shots.

Also "big remote" to all camera settings would be perfect for crane, but (in specs) work only on few cameras..
 
Oh! I thought you had already used a lanc controller with your lens. Not all controllers our the same was looking for an opinion.

Well, i "tested" only kit lens (18-200), because for now this is my only one compatible lens :) And focusing work like other cameras, also start/stop too. I want to know rest of question, i want buy more lenses.
 
I didn't seen it before..
however, last post was half year ago, maybe something meanwhile has changed.. but still solution with mentioned e-follow focus is cheaper and more effective than metabones.. and then i don't care with lens-compatibility.
But using motor from lens is quieter (maybe) and MORE handy (minimal setup before shot)..
