Advice please? Can you change a Shimmed PL to a Canon EF mount on a RANGER GEMINI?

[William Long]

Hello all!

I was just wondering if anybody could give me advice on whether it is possible to change a Shimmed PL mount to a Canon EF mount on a RED RANGER GEMINI ?
What are the possibilities? What are the risks?

Thanks!

Try. The only risk your running is to have your back focus slightly off. Something you will notice if you got EF lenses that are correctly shimmed. If using normal EF lenses with not so accurate markings etc then I would not worry much, likely your back focus is "good enough" to pull focus by viewing the image or such.


So no risk in trying.

Thanks Björn, that's just what I needed to know.
