Recommended Zoom Lens for Panasonic EVA 1
I’m upgrading from a DVX200 to an EVA1. The DVX200 comes with a built in lens with a nice zoom range, including wide. Any suggestions for a comparable motorized zoom lens for the EVA 1, perhaps with Auto focus? B&H sells a non-returnable Canon lens for $23K! Hoping to find something a bit less expensive!

We are using a few Canon DSLR Zooms with the EVA1s.
The basics like 24-105 f4 and 24-70 f2.8.
We use ours on a Helix Jr. so no big zooms ☹
Not sure if that helps.

He was asking for a motorized lens, as in a servo zoom.

The Canon CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 COMPACT-SERVO Cinema Zoom Lens is the only option that I am aware of for a pro lens with a power servo zoom and aperature ring. Expensive at $4,600. I went with the Sigma DG 24-105mm f/4 HSM DG OS Aspherical Lens For Canon. Picked one up on eBay for under $500. Though it has no power zoom, the manual zoom has a nice feel to it, and with practice you can pull off a fairly smooth zoom.
