  • 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 still camera lense to PL-style mount

--2.jpg

Hi everybody
A-mount system has been tested and modified for long time, but I was not satisfied yet,
so I modified and modified it until now.
I think this system is ready and fine enough
So I would like to sell 10 of them and hope those who buy them can give others your feedback.
And I am going to provide $100USD discount for these 10 customers
For the guarantee by Redone, I an going to send my products to redone recently

Now you could purchase these items of A-mount system:
1. A-mount(item code: AM)
_MG_3366.jpg

this product is made of 7075 Aluminum and stainless steel, it is very strong and durable.The price of A-mount is $300 USD.

2. Adapters
_MG_3357.JPG

PL-adapter (item code: PL-a)
it can be put on A-mount for you to mount your PL lens. It's very easy and fast to mount the lens on it, and also is very strong and firm. The price of PL-adapter is $260 USD.

Nikon F-adapter (item code: F-a)
--1.jpg

This adapter is made of stainless steel, it can be mount on your Nikon F lens very easy, so that "Nikon lenses people" can use it on the A-mount. The price of it is $150 USD/per.

Contax C/Y adapter (item code: C/Y-a)
_MG_3356.JPG

This adapter is like F-adapter. It can be put on the C/Y lens very quickly. The price is $150 USD/per.

Now, there are these 3 adapters. And then, there is M42 adapter will be sold soon.
M42 and Leica R.

if you would like to order the products,
please send me the item code and the number of the products you want to purchase
to my email: allstar.cine@gmail.com
And I will reply the payment information.

For the ensemble instructions, I will post the video later.
thank you those who are tracking these products and thank you for your support.

Does the A-mount accept all existing PL mount glass?

Does it replace the RED PL Mount?

What about idata?

I dont think idata was ever supported in this mount. I am very interested to test this as I have been looking for a more robust solution for my ZF set.
 
Congratulations, I have been waiting for your product for a long time.

Does the Nikon mount control iris on the G lenses (very important)?

Have you sent one in for RED to approve yet?

How soon is the Leica R coming out? Any possibility of making a Canon EOS one?

Thanks Derek,
1. For the G lenses iris, I am designing something else for it to control the iris, it is not good for adapter to control the iris.
2. I haven't sent them to RED, but I will asap
3. Sorry that I am not sure when Leica R can be out. I will keep update.
4. For Canon EOS, it's no possibility. (there are some posts above talking about this)
thank you again for your support!!
 
Just for clarification on your A mount system.
#1: How do the lens mounts work? For example... If I have a C/Y mount lens, does your A mount just attach like any other lens mount adapter would on the existing mount, or do you need to remove the existing C/Y mount and then screw the new A mount to where the old C/Y mount was?
#2: If I had my Contax lenses converted to your A mount, and wanted to use my PL mount Cooke zoom, how would I do that?

All the Best!

I think this may answer your question, if i am not wrong.

Looks awesome, exactly what the community needs. And finally a high-quality Contax mount.

But: I'm begging you to not make the mistake two lens mount manufactures have made by starting to sell their mounts before having received an approval from RED.

We are eager to get a good mount, and you are eager to recoup some of your investments. But please give your baby a few days extra time so it doesn't get killed before it had a chance. The concept is just too good!

Get in touch with Jarred and start this whole thing off on a good foot with RED.

And just as a cautionary note: this mount is not currently approved by RED, thus installation of it will void your warranty (if there is any left on your camera) and likely void the trade-in program for an Epic.



P.S. Love the detail about the mount cap having an A. Shows that you are in it for the quality. Thanks!

A solid professional Nikon mount is exactly what I have been looking for, and if I can toss PL or even Lieca lenses on without having to change mount and without voiding warranty...sign me up. Jarred, please give us some good news.
 
I cant see any reason why this wouldn't be accepted.. i do need to see it though to put our stamp of approval on it.

looks fantastic...

Music to my ears good man. Allstar, would you say as simple or similar to the current nikon mount installation?

Are the leica mounts weeks away or months away from being available? Sorry to pester you. ;)
