Used our camera for 2 weeks on a shoot in Kamchatka, Russia and my only gripe with the camera so far is the useless manual focus ring. It's back to the days of my XL-H1. It's a close to useless as anything can be. I never use autofocus on cameras, but the AX1 really forced me to do just that

As I mentioned in my previous post. I use manual focus but use the push focus auto feature to get in range and then check with the expanded focus with the focus ring. It's not very good I agree. I leave peaking on all the time now just to get a check for if I am totally out of focus !!! I think a bigger monitor and larger than 2x expended is needed for 4K.

Does anyone know if you can buy a wide angle lens adapter for the Sony FDR-AX1 4K camera? I currently have a Canon XF300 with a wide angle lens converter (WA-H82). I'm tempted to buy the Sony 4K camera but would need to be able to have a wider angle when shooting.
