SUMMARY
The Viltrox NexusFocus F1 is an adapter system that brings autofocus capabilities to manual PL cine lenses, allowing them to utilize Sony's autofocus features. This system can transform a two-person job into a single-shooter operation, particularly useful in confined spaces. While setup requires additional rigging and components, the results are described as remarkably effective and useful, making it a valuable tool for filmmakers who prefer cinema or vintage glass. The F1 is currently compatible with Sony E-mount cameras, with plans for expansion to other systems.
