    Are there any adapters to allow manual control of aperture on Nikon G lens?

    Question: Is there any adapter available which would allow me to manually control the aperture on a Nikon G lens on a dumb Nikon mount (like the RED one mount)? I have a simple one for Nikon G to Canon EOS mount but curious if a Nikon G to Nikon Manual exists? Thanks

    Anyone shot behind the scenes type stuff on REDs?

    Curious if anyone has samples of behind the scenes type shoots using REDs. Or do you think it isn't worth it considering the processing time. And just better to use a 5d or other DSLR?
