The Bebob Zoe DVXL LANC controller controls focus (using zoom controller) and start/stop on My Panny/Leica lenses on the Pocket camera. Focus has a slight lag, but works.
However, remote zoom is only going towork on the three Power Zoom Panny/Olympus lenses. The 12-35 f/2.8Panny is not a power zoom lens, so there is no servo on the zoom control, if camera can not control a lens function, the LANC remote won't either.
If you want a good Pro remote zoom lens, you are going to have to spend $35K up, for one of the new Cone Servo zooms, and add a PL adapter to your camera, along with the lens' dedicated remote controller.
Otherwise one of the slower Panny or the Olympus MFT Power Zoom lens, like the Lumix 14-42 4.5/5.6 PZ does give you remote power zoom on the Bebob, do not know about the Manfrotto controller, however.
