Quick question- Does anyone know how to adjust the zoom speed of the stock lens?
It seems to zoom rather slowly, making it rather tedius to push in, check focus, and pull back out. I know other pro video lenses often have some sort of external adjustment to control top zoom speed.... but this lens as far as I can tell has no such control. I know its possible to switch the zoom off of servo and manually perform a snap zoom, but is the servo zoom really so slow or is there some way to adjust it? Even my PDX-10 has a faster servo zoom than the JVC.
