I'm really impress with the quality and precision of this follow focus, it fits perfectly with Rokinon Cine DS lenses. This was just another great investment I did.

question

Does this FF work ok with a Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens? thnx.
Asked by: Juan
It will work if you add a gear to the lens, but keep in the mind the 28-135 is a USM lens that lacks physical hard stops. The FF will work in focusing, but you won't have hard stops as the lens lacks it.

Asked by: Sean
Yes, the RFD15BM will work with Rokinon lenses as long as they have teeth on the focus barrel of the lens for the follow focus gear to engage with.

Asked by: Anonymous
This will work with a Canon DSLR lens with added gears plus a 15mm rods and baseplate. You will have to determine the diameter of the lens and find a gear such as this one below.

this might sound crazy but could you theoretically use this for zoom?
Asked by: Noah
Yes this geared focus wheel could be used to manually dial in a zoom on an appropriately geared lens, or on some photography lens with geared adapters, such as the Wide Open Camera Universal Lens Gear: WILU; https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/839296-REG/Lens_Gear_605859_LENSGEAR_UNIVERSAL_LENS.html
