Well since I are one (focus puller) I can assure you that it is precise but not tedious. I use a steel tape measure, cloth tape measure, laser distance finder, place marks on the ground , rehearse with all involved, extensive lens selection process in prep, sonar distance finder, an assistant who has a better line of sight speaking into my headset, diagrams of the set, 17 inch HD monitor, etc, etc, etc, .
