Rainbow C mount lense with electronic motors question.

[Musical Memory]

Hi, I know this maybe a foolish question but how many people are using CCTV camera c mount lenses?

This company Rainbow have a huge range of lenses and I'm licking my lips at the thought of having a F1 fast zoom lens but there is a small problem. These lenses come incased in plastic housings that are motor driven which control the iris, focus and zoom.

Are there any users that have made a small power packs with 3 rocker switches to energizes these lense? It does not seem hard to make but if there is an off the shelf solution I would be interested.


The lens in question is below in a PDF

I know this is an old thread. But here is an interesting example of someone using one of these lenses on the GH2.
