Yes, the FD are cheap still lenses. Now if I want to spend $1200 on rails and a follow focus for still lenses (and I do) this looks like the best deal http://www.redrockmicro.com/mff_product.htm
Well there you go. I'd like to get a follow-focus for my Aaton, but they're SO expensive. I think a FF for still lenses would be particularly handy, though, as still lenses weren't really built with assistant cameramen in mind.
The still lenses certainly weren't made for AC's but I like to think that the redrock would work well with a still lens. I hate pulling focus by twisting the barrel of the lens, it's so hard to keep the camera from doing that little "jump" when you do that. Now we need some locations and costumes and we're ready to go!

Happy Birthday, Cat-Daddy!
Happy birthday, Andrew!
Also, can you use a follow focus with the Canon FD lenses? I didn't know if they were set up for that (aren't they still camera lenses?).

The club? Wha? I'm so confused!
