I have a Canon which does really DEEP focus pulls in manual mode. I love it.

My G7 Does not do that at all - would the GH5 with 12 - 60 do the same job or is this focus pull element something more to do with DSLR vs Mirrorless?

The Canon is a 700d with the 18-55 Kit lens - I can't use it for much because its not 4k but its really full and almost 3d in its quality...

Help would be much appreciated.

The focus pull feature of the GH5 requires setting up given points and the speed of the transition afterwards it works quite well however even without this feature you can pretty easily do it with focus by wire s long as the lens does not go crazy when you turn (the leica don't but lumix do) and you can even use the joystick and AF-ON if you set your AF speed to slow

If you are not happy with that buy a voigtlander it has a 270 degrees run from 0 to infinity
