Lens control on EX3
I have the original EX-1, with the 8 pin Fujinon lens control port at the front of the handgrip. Taking a look at the EX-3 pics, I don't see any 8 or 12 pin port on the lens itself. However, I see a port in the back of the camera, next to the BNC TC. Is this the 8 pin Fujinon lens remote control?

Re: Lens control on EX3
There is an 8 pin "lens remote" socket on the lower edge of the handgrip.

Re: Lens control on EX3
Any recommendations for lens controllers to fit in that 8-pin socket?

Re: Lens control on EX3
I also have the Libec, but I prefer the Varizoom VZPROF. The Varizoom was designed to work in tandem with the focus cable control for double arm studio applications (focus with your left hand, zoom with your right.) I use just the zoom control and love the robust feel of the thumb rocker. The entire unit fits comfortably in your hand. However, it's much more expensive than the Libec.

Re: Lens control on EX3
I have used both the Varizoom and the Manfrotto on my EX1 and EX3 and both have worked very well.

Re: Lens control on EX3
@Ronnie: Varizoom is a US based company with a service department. Give them a call. Even if it has to go in for service, the repairs are reasonable. At least they were for me several years ago.
I use the PG EX for my EX1r. |
