I know this is specific, but does anyone know a good video camera (microphone, 15 or higher x Optical zoom) with a hand crank zoom lens? And it’s not the kind of camera’s you find when you walk into Radio Shack, not a camera that takes pictures as well as videos, but like a smaller version of movie cameras with the hand crank zoom lens?
I don’t have a photo of one, but I read that they had such things for zoom.
Can you show us a photo? I don’t recall seeing a hand crank on any video camera … there used to be a crank on some of the original "Zoomar" lenses used on studio tv cameras (the ones that weighed over 1000 pounds). Those cranks were quickly moved back to the handles on the camera were the operator could control the zoom and did not have to use an assistant.
