Question for RED: Will the Nikon mount be ready when EPIC ships ?

[Sergei Franklin]

Optitek's mount allows you to control iris of G lenses

[Elsie N]

Unless there are parts for the mount coming from Northern Japan, I can't see any reason the Nikon mount should be behind the already-late camera. At least I hope so:-)

Sounds about right to me. After all, they've had the physical prototype mount done for some time now... just needing to reconcile the G lenses with the mount. And Jarred once mentioned that even without specific lenses being reconciled, there would be a very useable generic pathway to use. Sorry, don't have a link to his statement.

I can't understand why RED do not give any news about this...

Please Jarred, or someone else at RED, just tell us what's happening.

Thanks

Optitek is supposed to make a adaptor to use their Nikon mount on the Epic.

I think the real desire is to have the new electronic Nikon mount that RED is working on so your Nikon lenses will be fully functional with the touchscreen controls. Optitek's mount will not be able to have this feature that I'm aware of.

I wouldn't be so sure. If I can help it that is.....

Well if it did, you would have a whole host of eager clients! Bully on you Jacek!
