Does it control focus as well or just the f stop?

Forgive me if this isn't in the right post, but I've been following this for awhile and I feel like this information should also be included.
I've got the AF100 and a set of Zeiss ZE lenses. Does anyone have any experience as to whether or not the external Birger Follow Focus will support an accurate focus pull on a lens with no built-in motor? Or, will I need to go with an external torque motor system for a similar result?
Thanks!

id have to imagine the birger will have no way to interface with non-computer, non-electronic lenses. It is first and foremost a way to talk to a lense from the panasonic body, and as an added bonus send focus rotation data to the built in EOS motor, much like a canon body would.

Unless the mount can talk to a Birger supplied motor that controls the lenses much as a follow focus would. It's definitely possible.

Had to ask Rule for my deposit back today :/
I need to put the money elsewhere unfortunately. Just wanted to say Rule was very professional about it, and quick.
I hope it works out for Erik, met him at NAB, the prototype was very cool and I think it will be a great piece of kit when it's released.
Again, +1 for Rule.

He's clearly being sarcastic... in the meantime, it appears the Redrock is shipping...
If I had so much riding on a product that was bogged down in production, I'd be really careful with sarcasm. Maybe you are right, but only Erik can settle that. It wouldn't really be the brightest shiniest moment in product promotion history if he was joking, but I choose to hope he was not. Anyways, I diverge from the subject of this thread. All I can say, is that I can still hope that production of the mount is around the corner.
What are the basic differences between these two products?
Are differences large enough to continue waiting for Erik "to announce an announcement" if Redrock already has a product in the market?
I just want to use my L glass without the Kipon.

With the Birger you can power the Iris change from the camera and not need an additional battery, you can control and see information about the Iris with the camera controls and display, and you can use the remote port on the camera to control this as well (like if you need remote with your camera up on a crane).
Also, if I recall correctly, there are some future devices for remote control of the birger mount as well that will be optional.
The advantage of the RedRock is you can buy it now!!

Who is announcing this, Erik?
