Follow Focus adaptable between EF and PL

[Christoffer Glans]

Is there any follow focus system that is able to interchange between working with EF lenses and PL lenses?
I need the EF for myself, but if I rent out my camera with a PL mount I want to be able to rent out the FF working with PL.

I have an ARRI ff5 follow focus, for which you can get either wheels with teeth for cine style lenses, or one with a rubber ring which presses against the focus ring on ef lenses, which works well. These wheels will work
on any ARRI follow focus, I presume.

How well does the rubber ring work when doing fast focus pulls? And also, can you make stops on it so that you don't pull the focus too far (erasing markers due to focus going past them as canon EF lenses don't have a stop at infinite or closest)?

Found this, because the ARRI is quite expensive...

Thoughts?

I use the Oconnor CFF1 and I swap between regular teeth gears and the gear friction driver when working with Canon Lenses for example:

Both the Oconnor and the Arri are a bit too expensive for me.

Get the ofocus with stills hand wheel from O'Connor. And buy a PL handwheel with it. Best solution you can get. The stills handwheel has the lowest transmission ratio for pulling stills, your get 400 degrees on a canon 70-200. And the PL handwheel is just plain awesome. Comes with any gear you need including the friction gear.

The shoot35.co.uk ff looks pretty amazing for the money. I'm going to have to do a review after I get one.
