Epic-W with Titanium Nikon Mount (aperture not working?)

[Josh Becker]

I bought a battle-tested Nikon mount from the RED store for my new Epic-W and the electronic lenses I'm using aren't allowing me to change the aperture. One is the Nikon 24-70 which is listed as supported in RED's documents.

Is there something I'm missing?

Is it the newer 24-70 with IS or the prev gen? I have the non-IS 24-70 on my Nikon mount and it works fine. The snapshots I posted the other day were all from that lens except the flowers which was Leica-R 135mm.

My Nikon mount is AL.

Non-IS version. I also put on my 17-55, which the mount detected correctly, but it won't adjust aperture.

So far my Sigma 18-35, Nikon 17-55, Nikon 24-70, and Tokina 11-16 II all fail to adjust aperture...

I have a feeling your battle-tested mount made need to visit the medical tent. Sorry Josh.

I submitted a ticket. Hope that's not the case!

Update: looks like it was most likely a faulty mount. Borrowed a friend's Al Nikon mount (he has two and both worked fine).

At least it is not the camera. They should be able to take care of your mount since you just got it.

Hi there, I have the same problem with the epic w, none of my nikon lenses ( which are listed as compatibel) adjust their aperture but with a factory new Nikon Mount! Quiet frustrating. Were you able to fix that problem?

I had to send in my mount. Luckily I had a friend who borrowed me a Nikon mount in the meantime. It's now fixed.
