Using my Canon still glass on my Epic and am looking to buy a reasonably priced FF that works well with the EF lenses. I already have the .8 pitch gears attached to my lenses and have been renting an Arri FF. Any ideas?
 
I recently picked up the Tilta III fluid damped follow focus. I didn't expect miracles, but its cheap, simple, has very little backlash, seems well made, and its fluid damping is great for making over-light stills lenses easier to use. Gets a thumbs up from me.
 
Arri mff-2 is great and you can get the still lens gear ratio. I personally have the cine one and it works great on still lenses as well. On the expensive side but still affordable and after trying many other cheapo FFs I needed reliability.
 
If you want the best FF as the title of this thread suggest, I havn't seen anything as good as Arri LFF-1....priced accordingly :)

Generally cheap cant buy a very good FF, but we just purchased o few of the "lightweight" Movecam FF from 16x9 and its quite a solid piece of gear at a reasonable price.
 
Ordered an O'Connor O-Focus DM, and in theory it shipped today with my other accessories.

For Canon glass, the direct friction drive (nothing else needed), and the gear ratio is very interesting.

I believe they have a two year warranty, and got another year as I purchased with a MC that extends the warranty.

Being able to extend it on two sides if needed, and use parts from their higher end FF for PL glass, is also a plus.
