Q: 1. Will a Manfrotto lanc that works with an xf605 also work if plugged into the lanc port of a c70 to control this zoom motor?

A: The Canon PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter is not compatible with the same LANC cable used with the Canon XF605 Camcorder.

Q: 2. If I attach this adapter to my 24-105mm f/2.8 and attach that to my R5m2, would I be able to control the zoom with the BR-E1?

A: Yes, the Canon PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter is compatible with the Canon BR-E1 Wireless Remote Control when the power zoom device is connected to the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens (Canon RF) on the Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 3. Will this work with the Canon 80D 18-135mm lens?

A: This is a beauty and lets you do things with a DSLR which were not possible in the past. I bought two from B&H!. However, be careful and be fully aware that it works with only one lens in the entire Canon lineup of lenses. That is the 18 - 135 Canon Nano USM Lens that comes bundled with the Canon 80 D and now the Canon 77 D. Please note that this lens is priced very high if you buy it as a stand alone lens, it makes sense only to be bought as a bundle. While buying the 80 D or the 77 D, please be sure that you are getting the 18 135 Nano USM Lens which works with the PZ E1! Here in India, a few smart re-seller are bundling it with cheaper and older versions of the 18 - 135.

Q: 4. I just bought a Sony A6000. Will this hood fit my camera lens? Thanks

A: I use this on my a6000 and it works fine. The shade turns freely on the adapter (no dot or mark for where to position it). So you need to be careful that it is orientated properly or it will interfere with the photo at wide angle. You can put a mark on the shade to help check it is in the proper position.

Q: 5. Does this work with any lens or just this one?

A: When I bought mine (mid-2017) I was told Canon plans to make more lenses in the future that will support it.

Q: 6. How to pair PZ-E1 with BR-E1?

A: The Canon BR-E1 Wireless Remote Control does not operate or control the Canon PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter. The BR-E1 Wireless Remote Control will trigger compatible cameras with infrared remote capability, while the PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter can be used remotely via mobile devices running the Canon Camera Connect app or Mac/Windows computers with EOS Utility software.

Q: 7. Will this power zoom adapter work when used with other cameras like the new R5 Mark II for example?

A: Yes, the Canon PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter will work with the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens when attached to the Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 8. Will this work with the older EF-S 18-135 IS f3.5-5.6 STM lens that came with the 70D?

A: The 18-135mm USM is a brand new lens that has a special set of notches to hold the PZ-E1. It also has a mating set of electrical contacts that mates them together. This new lens is equipped with new NANO USM technology which is kind of glossed over but does differentiate between the older STM lens and this new USM lens.Hopes this helps. If you look at the images for this lens on this site you will see what i am describing.

Q: 9. Will this zoom device and the new lens EF-S 18-135mm IS USM work with my Canon 70D?
