Eclair CA-1 mount to PL !!

[Mustafa R]

I have set of Kinpotik Apo prime lenses 50mm,75mm,100m,150mm . All those lenses comes with Cameflex mount (Eclair CA-1) .

Is there any way to mount those lesns on Red one camera ? Please advice .

Thanks in Advance.

Unfortunately it won't work other then for macro purposes. I had the turret mount on my Cameflex machined and customized to adapt a Nikon mount. They had to grind it down first in order to get the same flange focal distance. PL flange focal distance is 52mm, CA-1 is 48mm and Nikon is 46.5mm - this would make it impossible to reach infinity on the lens.

What about a 2/3 Scarlet? Shouldn't that work?

If so, where would one get a mount for the Cameflex to PL mount?

You could go from a CA-1 to "C" mount for 2k if the Scarlet has a "C" mount option.
