Re: More stuttering zoom stories....
by Bob Pierce on Sep 4, 2009 at 2:41:30 pm

I have an EX1 that, although I don't think it's malfunctioning, has never really been capable of smooth zooms, at least not in the way I'm used to from using regular broadcast lenses. The speed of the rocker is simply too fast for smooth, slow zooms and is not adjustable. To do a slow zoom you have to use such a light touch that it becomes impossible to do reliably, and ruins too many shots. I've given up trying. Does anyone know if the external zoom controllers offer better control?
Thanks,
Bob Pierce
