Re: Programable focal length pull

It depends on the camera, but the old LANC control standard is apparently still alive and well.  Look for a LANC controller with zoom speed control settings, sometimes they can be set up so the controllers zoom rocker is limited in how fast or slow it can make the lens change focal length.  Several manufacturers make them, "Vari-Zoom" was one of the bigger ones.  Older LANC controllers still work with modern cameras that support the protocol.
