🛠 Manual / Operation Instructions

• The official operation manual for this lens (and related models) is available: The doc is titled for models incorporating drive unit model BERD-S6 (and variants) — see Japanese/English/Chinese versions.

• You can download a PDF of the manual: For example, the file at “fujifilm.com/…/ha18x5.5berd-s6-manuel.pdf” contains a table of specs & operation guidance.

• The manual includes wiring/pinout diagrams, servo demand signals (zoom, focus controls), operational precautions — e.g., the version for BERM-M6(B)/BERD-S6 includes details for analog/digital demands.

🔍 Things to Pay Attention To

• When interfacing for remote/servo control (zoom, focus), ensure compatibility with the lens’s demand signals (analog or digital) and the drive unit version. The “S6” series uses more advanced encoders — some users report differences in dip switches across revisions.

• The filter thread is large (M127) — if you’re using accessories (matte box, filters) check physical dimensions.

• The M.O.D. of 0.4 m means fairly close focusing is possible for a broadcast zoom of this size — useful for ENG/EFP setups.

• The lens weight (~2 kg) means it’s substantial — consider mounting/rigging accordingly.

• The extender doubles the focal length (11-200 mm) but also changes field of view & likely depth-of-field/illumination — check if using the extender results in any change in T-stop or brightness drop (some specs mention light loss with extender).
