  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Allstar A-mount system is available! --with REDONE approved!

Hi,
Just got a quick thing, I just want to understand this entirely cause I read bits and pieces but never quite understood the purpose of the mount,
Is it so you can mount PL Lenses, Canon Lenses, Nikon lenses or just plain any lens base that you have machined with a universal mount?

So all I would have to do if I bought a PL mount lens is slap on the A Star mount to the camera and screw on the adaptor to the PL Lens and its good to go and I can switch between Canon and Nikon lenses as well?

I have got that right yes? If not can someone correct my understanding please
 
You cant use Canon EF but the other lenses are fine with the appropriate A adapter for each type of mount, we do this every day. if your wanting Pl just put the PL adaptor on to the camera and your ready to go, takes less than 10 secs to fit. Its a great system.
 
One thing is to note is that PL adapter for A-mount stays on the A-mount when you use, then the Nikon adapter stays on the lens then the lens goes in to the A-mount directly.

Sorry for late reply. I am busy at shooting a film with EPIC and Alexa, both of them are great cameras.

and Arri Alexa Mount Base will be produced.
 
Tom: great news on getting approved for EPIC. Now that you have a new system for EPIC/Scarlet, can I ask you again to look at a Canon FD mount option. One vendor (Optitek) has announced an EPIC Canon FD mount on REDUSER. So, it is possible, the only questions is whether it can be designed into your Allstar system.

Also, your website still doesn't have a price for the EPIC mount, which makes it a bit difficult to order. What's the best way to order a complete system, including the PL, BNCR, and OCT19 mounts for an EPIC?

Thanks, Mike
 
Just got my A mount updated.
Currently using my Leica's on my R1 and its a blast. Tom and Allstar were really great, top notch customer service.
Just wanted to say thanks and put in my support!
 
I concur...had to put together an order very quickly, and I have to say, considering he's half the world away and working to boot, he was very responsive via email and super quick to ship. I think I had my Allstar goodies in under 3 days (paid on Wednesday, came on Friday)...

For now, only using it with my Leica-R's, but glad I'll be able to work PL, Nikon & BNCR into the mix quickly.

Thanks Tom!

Any update on the Nikon G lens adapters? Last I checked they didn't show up on the website... but that order chain is confusing so I may have missed it.

Congrats All Start... Check out you on the filmker.cn too, haha
 
I wished you did this for Minolta MD/MC manual lenses. Do you have an A Mount for these lenses?

EDIT: I have about 10 lenses that I just can't seem to part with. 7 of them are really clean/fast primes and the others are zooms.
 
Hi,
Finally I finished my shooting job, the movie has cranked up!
Many people ask me about A-mount for Scarlet, I think it use the same mount on EPIC, so it should be no problem to mount Allstar Universal Mount+EPIC Mount Base on Scarlet.
There will be some new product available in Dec, not only for EPIC,
we have a quick release grips for Alexa:

We don`t have plan to make MD adapter for A-mount, but rehousing ZA lens for Allstar and EF mount.

This is my new 3D lens with auto focus and image stabilizer:

3D lens lol
 
Hey Allstar team. Our company ASTRONAUT has put in an order for a Scarlet with the Canon Mount Package. I own a 16piece Contax Zeiss lens set, and am actively looking at YOUR amazing mount to give us the flexibility of not only using our CONTAX lenses, but also quickly jumping to PL glass as well (Duclos 11-16, Red Pro's, etc). Your mount will, of course, work on the Scarlet as well, I assume (if it works on Epic)?. Please confirm. Thanks!

Hi Nick,

I just received an Allstar mount for Epic (already own Red One Allstar mount to use with Reice R and Nikon lenses) and I also have an Allstar C/Y adapter for Contacx lens. If you want to try Allstar mount with your scarlet, let me know.
I work in Brooklyn -)

Hey Jay, you're like the nicest person ever! Yes I'd love to try out your Allstar mount on our Scarlet! As soon as it arrives I'll PM you.

We can even compare and contrast them to your Leicas and Nikons, if you like. Could be fun.

Thanks again. Really appreciate it.
