Some European company has announced an electronic follow focus system for USM lenses. What's that about? Is this a better solution than a mechanical system, like Dan's, for example?

Man, I must say "who knows". The indie35 thing is so Summer 2004. Why are they bothering with their static riddled imaging, when there's the whole round of superior products available or on the rise.

I would have to agree with you. Even looking at the thumbnails you can tell there's grain. I keep asking myself why they're even bothering to make it. You look at the site and say, "oh this must be commercially produced." Then you scroll down and see a bunch of black piping held together with a metal retaining bracket. I laughed at that point, personally.
