Very cost effective product for a Fujinon Lens

Fujinon zoom for a good price

By Matt
Rated 4 out of 5

I wish the title had a description of what brand it works with- I almost missed this. Our fujinon zoom controller stopped working after about 6 years. Fuji repair services was nearly impossible to contact and the $1000 Fujinon unit was backordered everywhere. Luckily I came across this. Pros: Half the price, easier to fit on a pan handle than the original, can do super slow zooms compared to the original, speed knob is in a very convenient place. Cons: Cheaper construction (still seems solid though). I have had cheaper varizoom units last only a year so im a little nervous. However, this type of controller seems like it wouldnt break as easy. The zoom rocker doesnt have much travel so pressure sensitive controls are not as easy. The speed control knob basically disables the zoom during the first 1/8th or so of a rotation... so you kinda gotta play around with it to find the slowest speed setting. Id prefer rubber handle over a foam handle. Overall, this thing has surprised me. Half the price of the fuji controller. a couple quirks but just practice with it and youre good. If it lasts 3 years- I got my moneys worth.
