How do others who use these bodies for video, work around this?

I picked up a used Olympus 12-40 F2.8 Pro lens. It has a manual focus clutch option that turns it into a true manual focus lens, which means you can use it with a follow focus. In AF mode, touch focus works great. I did discover that, although it's not parfocal, if you zoom out to 40mm, focus, and then unzoom back to wide, it retains focus.

The camera I'm pondering lately is the Fuji XT3. It has a touch focus option that lets you set how fast it will transition between two focus points via touch focus. With this feature, you can emulate focus pulls on the fly. Plus, the camera has great AF and internal 10 bit..
