A little Nikon Love....

[Rob Castiglione]

Totally thrilled to get this news (eventhough I did just buy the optiteck). Thanks again for bringing the excitement back into the technology that we use to make films.

 

[Rob Anderson]

Beautiful. Well done, RED. For a totally illegitimate scam of an op, you guys sure do make really cool things.

 

[Eren Ozkural]

Thank youJarred/Jim sooo much, us Nikon shooters were wondering what was up with the mount. Looks amazing...

It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that the mount will be available with Scarlet packages in the future, would it?

 

[Adam Howden]

So just wondering how the iris is being controlled is it through the Redmote?

 

[Luca Immesi]

Wow, I love Nikon lenses!

 

[Franck De Togni]

Sorry to say it like this, but... I'm in love with you guys ! My precious nikon mount !:biggrin:

 

[Stefan Antonescu]

The Nikon mount as most of you know has been a bit tricky as Nikon requires actual motors in the mount where Canon has the motors in the lenses.

Thanks for the update, Jarred !

How about the AF motors in the Nikon G lenses ? Are they faster then the Canon L lenses ?

 

[David Battistella]

Great
News!

Does this have a wicked locking system like the canon mount?

The iris looks so smooth.

 

[Mark Phelan]

Waiting, patiently. My Nikons were the reason I justified buying a RED One. Birger still has my deposit money for the Nikon mount that never came to be. Doug made a couple great solutions, then came Jacek. The Optitek works great, but it's still a dumb mount. Have never been a beta tester for RED, would love the opportunity. But more importantly, would love to finally get the mount I've been waiting for all these years. Hurry UP!

 

[Michael Hastings]

Did you really build what I thnk you built?

If so you are a mad genius Pawel. I still have my Nikonos IV and 35mm, just couln' let em go...

Evin:

Pawel's probably asleep so I'll answer for him - and it's yes! He has a link to pictures and info in the bubble blowers thread and the epic underwater housing thread.

 

[Shane Betts]

By the way Jarred, any video of the lens focussing? Pretty please?

 

[Vico Martin]

Jarred or Someone: ¿can we use old F, Non-AI or AI Nikon mounts with the Epic Nikon mount???

Some developers recomend to avoid this with digital cameras to prevent damage electronics contacts.

Crucial to me!

 

[Rob Castiglione]

+1 for the question asked by Vico. Will we be able to use all F mount lenses with the mount or will there be restrictions? Many thanks.

 

[Lee Dashiell]

Very nice.

 

[Andreas Mendritzki]

Rejoice!

 

[Sean Solowiej]

This is the final piece of the puzzle to make my Epic system a reality. Very exciting to hear some news! Thanks Jarred.

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Signing up for beta testing sir

You can be in line right behind me!

 

[SeanBrown]

Looking good. If we can get smooth iris like that on the canon!

 

[N_Villers]

If you took away everything that is great about the DSMC program.. and only left the fact that you can change between Canon, Nikon, PL, PV, RM and Leica-M mounts in less than a minute and use all the random optical jewels from various companies from the past, present and future.. it would still be quite revolutionary. A Glass lover's dream come true. And the majority of those mounts being electronic? Icing on the cake.

What is a RM mount? Red mount? Great to see a glimpse of the future. Thank you. I suppose we will have to wait for the Red Electronic Lenses to see the RedMote-Pro. The idea of controlling focus on Nikon/Canon/Red makes me truly excited.
