Can I ask where you purchased one of these adaptors? Directly from Manfrotto?

we never did solve the issue and Manfrotto was absolutely no help. Both they and B&H remained convinced that that the zoom worked with the lens.

We ended up getting rid of the Manfrotto and going back and using an ancient Canon zoom.

Sorry to not have better news.

I managed to get my hands on an old 8-pin Fujinon Remote Zoom. When plugged into the camera and lens it works perfectly.

Clearly there is some incompatibility between the lens and the Manfrotto remote.

I guess we have no choice but to return the remote.

Interesting to know that it has happened with others.

Have you tried the remote on another camera? I did and it worked fine (on a HPX500). I am not certain it is the remote. I am leaning towards thinking the camera is not putting out (phantom) power.

Do you have reason to think otherwise?

Thanks John.

This lens has a rather large manual/servo switch. I have flipped it back and forth and am confident it is in the servo position.

I can’t figure out why, but for some reason this camera does not seem to be putting out phantom power through the lens. All other phantom (mikes) is working.

Strange. Thanks for your thoughts.
