Viltrox, a Chinese company known for photography accessories, has launched a Kickstarter for its new NexusFocus F1 that enables Sony cameras to adjust settings like focus, aperture, and zoom when filming with older PL-mount manual cinema lenses. Early bird backers can preorder a basic kit for around $808 with delivery expected in March 2026.
