We got a small camera rental business that have available to rent the hvx 200 and the hpx 500.
The Hpx 500 package is pretty new and it comes with:

HPX 500
XA 17X7.6BRM Fuji lens
Camera battery package
4 x 16GIG cards
Apple Powerbook G4
300 GIG External hard disk
Sachtler tripod
Sachtler Hi hat
Marshall V-R70Pmonitor
Marshall monitor battery package

We need to invest a little bit more in this package but we are not sure about the way to go. Follow focus and matte box?? Wide-angle adapter??? What do you think??

Thanks.
 
What about the follow focus operation with the stock FUJI 17X7.6BRM?

Do you think it is going to work?
 
I think SO...check this:


"Key Features

•
French Flag

The system's articulating French Flag is great for precise manipulation of light. Protection against flair and loss of contrast is provided by a 16:9 insert mask. A one-sided quick-lock mechanism anchors both sides of the system with a simple twist of a knob.

•
Matte Box

Includes a housing that covers both 16:9 and 4:3, one rotating 4x4 & one fixed 4x4/4x5.65 filterholder, a french flag, mounting blocks, and a 16:9 mask.

•
Lighweight System

The lightweight support system provides support for the Panasonic HPX-500 mattebox.

•
Follow Focus Sytem

Chrosziel's DV Studio Rig Follow-Focus sytem is supported by the lightweight support system; the focus gear drive locks into the follow focus; the focus gear ring is attached to the Panasonic HPX-500 lens focus ring and interfaces with the focus gear drive." by BH site
 
What is the benefit of a follow focus with B4 zoom lenses?
Every single one I've used so far doesn't have proper gear rings or anything else to attach to a mechanical follow focus.
Am I missing a bit here?
