Are you using the Manfrotto RC Pan Bar EX for zoom control? If the zoom control isn't absolute, do you have to reach around and set the focal length manually, or can you nudge the zoom control a bit to your desired focal length?
Sounds like no live zooms, but could you reasonably change from a two-shot to a single, fairly quickly without too much extra adjusting?
But I agree, if BM is only officially supporting four lenses, they could provide a little more documentation.
zoom IS absolute BTW using PWM or SBUS in that the value of the set channel is interpreted as specific level of zoom - however how that works in practice is not necessarily predictable...
As both Kim and i found with lenses the 'quality' of the adjustment seems to be very dependent on how the specific lens reacts to camera control through the electronics (as opposed to whatever normal on lens control there is - ie focusing seems to be more granular than using the lens barrel to do the same thing, even though the barrel focus rotation itself maybe be 'fly by wire')
