A lot of lenses for DSLRs, have the focus ring, right the end. This makes it difficult to hook a follow focus onto it, even if it's a custom DIY one you try to make for that purpose. It is also difficult to try to pull focus with your fingers, cause the shadows of the fingers, tend to be seen in the image. I can try to be careful, or light differently, but the lighting has to be specific ways as it is. And as much as I try not to get shadow into the image, I have to concentrate on the actor's performances while shooting, and will not always catch the shadow until later.
Is their a way to use these lenses with a follow focus, or by hand? There are lenses where the focus ring is further back, that makes it a lot easier, but these lenses have no image stabilization where as the ones with the focus ring in the front, do.
