why not? Gear pitch? I presume you mean Follow Focus.. not Full Frame

It'll not work with the FF.

Especially the 100mm macro - that lens extends quit a distance (but so does the Zeiss it's based on), not sure about the shorter lenses.

Although it does look like the FF gear on the 100mm is eeeextra wide so it may not slide out of range of the FF?

That's just one of the trade-offs / shortfalls of working with still lenses in a cinema workflow. Not a problem for some people, they can overlook and make great images, for others it's a deal breaker.

It'll not work with the FF.

That's only a problem for those lenses which telescope as they focus or zoom. How many of this set actually does that?

 

[Marco Lomiler]

they behave like all the old Standard Zeiss...Who is not used to them? come on.


They all have pitch gear of a size that you can manage the FF in a matter that it dont get disconected.

or you can find also larger follow focus gears.
like Zacuto's for example.

Man it seems you pay alot of money for having a "letraset" 50 on the printed on the side. Is a screw on front adapter & focus gear really that expensive ?

Aside from the above features ; ) .... Optically do these rehoused lenses offer anything better than the original ?
