Denny,
I know, that this lens is supposed to work. I bought it because of the fact it is on the "list of lenses know to work with Ursa Broadcast". And since it is not working I am asking here in the forum because I don't think that the camera is faulty.
Our second Ursa Broadcast behaves exactly the same with the HA22x7.8.
Both Ursas are working fine with our other lenses (A22x7.8BERM-M48B, A22x7.8-BERM-M28). And those are DIGIPower lenses as well - only much older (SD).
Since my Sonys have no problems with none of these lenses (checked it with PDW-F355, PXW-X320) and since both Ursas behave the same on the HA22x7.8 lens, it must have something to do with the Ursa firmware how the iris is controlled.
My hope was that someone from Blackmagic chimes in and sheds some light on this issue. It seems like this is not the only lens the Ursas are having problems with.
And no, changing the dip switches and potentiometers in the lens handgrip don't do anything on this behaviour.

If this is the case, maybe it would be possible to add a preference in the Ursa menu. Like: "Use digital / analog iris control".
