In an interview with News Shooter, Technical Farm, a Japanese company, said they are converting Canon L glass for cine use by adding hard stops to the focus mechanism. A smooth manual aperture ring is added as well. They are doing this for the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (first version) and EF 70-200 f/2.8L II.
