I currently use Canon L glass (70-200 F2.8 IS II, 24-70 F2.8 II, 16-35 F4 IS) and a few Samyang lenses like the 16mm F2 and 35mm F1.4
But then I went and rented the Zeiss OTUS 55mm. OH MY GOD! The focus on that lens is incredible. I am so addicted to the precision that I'm considering buying one even though I was getting similar IQ with the Sigma 50mm ART F1.4 that I also rented.
So this leads me to wondering about follow focus. Will a high quality FF give me similar feel and precision with my SLR glass as the long throw Otus does? I know that a FF has other benefits, but I have never used a nice one before so I'm curious.
The Samyang glass has a tiny bit of play in the ring and I know that a FF won't help there. However the L glass does seem to have nice precision minus the short focus throw. FF should help that?
Any comments from L-glass or Otus owners?
