How do I know if I have the remote lens?
A remote lens always has a cable coming out of the housing: a black cable with a 9-pin connector that goes to the camera's Remote port or to the Remote Positioner.
A remote lens will always have a cable coming out of the housing. The black cable with the 9-pin female connector connects to the Remote port on the back of the camera, or, if you use a Remote Positioner, to one of the serial ports on the positioner. A second cable then runs from the positioner to the camera's Remote port.

- My camera's lens won't focus, or the focus drifts. What do I check? — Sharp at some distances but not others: tighten the four silver screws on the back of the 8-48mm lens. Sharp at no distance: the CS-C mount adapter is wrong (exactly one 5 mm ring, or none for the 2.8-10mm lens).
- Can I repair the motor for my Remote Positioner at home? — Yes, in many cases. Troubleshoot walks through it, and the Remote Positioner Motor Home Repair Guide has the full directions.
