Ok my FF "I focus" arrived from Gini Rig today. Man this is one big, huge FF unit, quality metal engineered gearbox. Build quality exceptional. I was expecting something large but not this large! This thing would be at home on 19mm rods . It will work well with cut delrin or metal geared still modern lenses, plastic zip gear & the like I wouldn't even bother. I Paid $285 including shipping. My only problem is I have a suite of Leica's & this unit is overkill for these tiny lenses.

If I was going PL route I would use another system (pro) but for still lenses this unit should be fine.

Where did you buy your iFocus?

Here's a link I will most probably be going to. More expensive than the zip gears but should be set & forget, accurate and last a long time . Any user comments about JBK Cinequipt lens gear system ?

I might have to go with those as well, they look pretty solid!

He also sells on ebay, price vary wildly. I went the above route because shipping was thrown in.

Hope this helps.....

I was reading a post on arri's facebook page and there was a quote from Greg Luntzel, the 1st ac on the new men in black, talking about the new ff5. (http://tinyurl.com/6ted99x) He mentions that there are different focus knobs that you can switch between... I cant seem to find them anywhere online. Does any one know where I could at least check those out online? Also, anyone have any thoughts of the ff5 compared to the ff4?
