I saw that. What a great invention or should i say reinvention. How much does this cost I wonder?

 

[anatusa]

yes , how much? and does it going to work with AF100?

Doesn't look like it's camera dependent, so it would work with just about any camera set up - just choose your zoom. I cant see it being all that cheap though.

I thought I read that it used USB to communicate with the DSLR it was plugged into for the start/stop function. I don't think that would work for the AF. Maybe there will be multiple versions. Hopefully its not just for Canon lenses as the article says. I don't own any Canon glass.

It'll work with any lens that it can physically interface with, as for the stop/start/pic/etc. buttons, I don't really care.

Great...more stuff to frankenstein onto my camera to make it look like the Pro camera's I used to use 10 years ago.
