Has that camera arrived to Uk from an actual shipment or is it just a demo cam?

First one is pretty impressive.

I guess this would work with the Sigma?

Well, I only briefly owned the 17-55mm a few years ago so I don’t remember to be honest. The 35mm f/2 has them but I would call them soft stops. Basically, you can feel a stop on either end but the rubber grip continues to spin so it also can feel like there isn’t a stop if you’re not paying attention.

But with a lot of follow focus’, you can set hard stops. With my current setup, I’m not using a follow focus so I don’t have a lot of information about which products have that feature.

Ok, thanks a lot. I have a shooting coming in november and am looking for convenient alternatives. As for now, we're probably going to rent a set of Veydras.

I’d agree that the Sigma 17-50m is a decent choice for the P4K. With a speedbooster, you have a general purpose lens that mimicks a 24-70mm but with an f/2. Add the original 30mm 1.4 and you have a good two lens set up.

A better option may be the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/2. Both have really good IS and with the speedbooster, you’ll have an f/2 and f/1.4 respectively.

The problem is the canon's focus ring  doesn't have hard stops, right?

I really think so. I used quite a lot the Sigma 17-70 with my old 550D and was not bad at all.

Do you know of any good EF to MFT smart adapter?

And they use the Sigma 17-70, which has the same mechanics as the 17-50, just not constant aperture.

I mean manual focus works better with a follow focus because results are repeatable as explained here:

And was wondering if something like this would help a bit with the throw:

Here, they discuss extending the throw with the FF gears. I haven't tried something like that, but sounds feasible.

Also, just read here that with a wireless FF you can remap the focus throw to the operator liking:

Anyway, what I would love is such a zoom in cine form.

I don't need OIS and the focus throw is short, but manual is better for a follow focus. Maybe it could work with a focus ring adapter?

One of the more significant announcements from today is the upcoming Panny Leica 10-25mm 1.7 lens. This will be a brilliant lens for this camera. Too bad there is no OIS. But still, looking forward to pricing and availability.

Given the size of the sensor wouldn't it be better a sigma 17-50 2.8 as an all - purpose lens? That's roughly a 21-62 S35 equivalent and paired with a ef-m43 smart adapter shouldn't be more than 600 bucks. 

In fact you could use it with the Aputure DEC and have both internal Nd's and the lightest follow focus.
