I was thinking about why Cine lenses cost so much... the obvious reason is that there's not a lot of breathing, great opticals, and great quality. However, I'm wondering if all cine lenses have the same focus throw so it's easier for a 1s AC to do a follow focus.

Focus throw varies from lens type to lens type.

Like my Zeiss CP2 give 300degrees of super smooth focus throw.

However, the focus marking will vary. The best lenses are hand calibrated.
