from what i hear, breathing is a bit of an issue, and price point for the speed is only so so. quality build though, and of course zeiss optics is very sharp. u might want to consider just getting the ZF still glass for ur DOF adapter instead, saves you a lot of money, it's the same optics, you just lose the finer controls of PL housing.

Well put Tom; however Nikon's backwards rotation is a huge minus on the ZF

However, some follow focus units have a reverse gear capability, so you can still get the same direction focus pulls as traditional cine glass.
