I have an Edelkrone FocusONE follow focus one attached to my Zeiss Milvus primes with Sean's Seamless Follow Focus gears.
This should be great.
The focus direction, though, is driving my brain crazy -- it's like trying to use a game controller without being able to invert the look direction. Right now, when I roll the gear away from me, the focus comes closer to me. When I roll it toward me, the focus goes further away. I am still struggling to get used to this... my brain wants to roll the focus away and have the lens focus further away.
Now, I could flip the follow focus around to reverse direction, but then you lose the marker disk and placement on the rod in relation to the camera body gets wonky.
Is this normal for all follow focuses? Any way to reverse the gearing or get around this issue?
I got the Canon EF mount because they focus "right" (vs the nikon) but now I realize with the Nikon + Follow Focus, it would focus the direction I wanted.
