The focus ring has a focus throw of 270 degrees, so you shouldn’t have any issues when using it with a manual/wireless follow focus. In terms of lens design, there are ten elements in eight groups for a total weight of around 1.45 lbs/660 grams. The minimum focus distance is 0.51m. Also, the lens is relatively compact, with a total length of only 80mm. If you want, you can screw filters directly to the front element that features a diameter of 77mm.
