Using my Canon still glass on my Epic and am looking to buy a reasonably priced FF that works well with the EF lenses. I already have the .8 pitch gears attached to my lenses and have been renting an Arri FF. Any ideas?

There are a lot of threads on this. I just got the REDRock Micro and it seems to be very smooth. Going to do some shooting with it this week.

I recently picked up the Tilta III fluid damped follow focus. I didn't expect miracles, but its cheap, simple, has very little backlash, seems well made, and its fluid damping is great for making over-light stills lenses easier to use. Gets a thumbs up from me.

Arri mff-2 is great and you can get the still lens gear ratio. I personally have the cine one and it works great on still lenses as well. On the expensive side but still affordable and after trying many other cheapo FFs I needed reliability.

Agreed. The new OC stuff is great. Love their Obox as well.Originally Posted by Jeremy Wiles

If you want the best FF as the title of this thread suggest, I havn't seen anything as good as Arri LFF-1....priced accordingly :)

Generally cheap cant buy a very good FF, but we just purchased o few of the "lightweight" Movecam FF from 16x9 and its quite a solid piece of gear at a reasonable price.

Andrew,
I have the o'connor o focus. Give me a call over the weekend or next week and you can try it out.
Later
Shane.

Ordered an O'Connor O-Focus DM, and in theory it shipped today with my other accessories.
For Canon glass, the direct friction drive (nothing else needed), and the gear ratio is very interesting.
I believe they have a two year warranty, and got another year as I purchased with a MC that extends the warranty.
Being able to extend it on two sides if needed, and use parts from their higher end FF for PL glass, is also a plus.
