I went out in town with my 1995 Pentax MZ-5 loaded with some 2003 outdated Fuji Superia 'surveicolor 400' film cut from a 100ft tin I was given and tried to see if the MZ-5 would 'Follow-Focus; as it said in the Instruction book as I have been very disappointed with the 'Follow-Focus' of my Pentax K10D more modern bought in 2007 as it 'back-focusses' -- well I took a blind lady with her Guide Dog crossing the Brentwood High Street at full aperture on my 35-80mm f4-5.6 SMC Pentax-F lens and it seemed to work OK !

Laughing Laughing I think a blind lady with a guide dog isn't going to tax yer follow focus!

I have it and never got it to work well. It hunts. You may as well prefocus and snap when the subject gets into the 'zone' like we did in the old days.
