  • 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 :)

Everything you wanted to know about the EPIC Canon Mount

Just a word up. We are still having issues with getting Aperture control when mounting the Canon 600mm. This is the case with both our Epic and Scarlet.

It's hit and miss whether the control comes up, and we can't work out why the hits happen. I.e. one time you mount it the lens it will come up then the other 20 times you do it won't. Given the size of the lens we are being very careful how it mounts in and ensuring we get a clean connection and hear the clicks.

If anyone has tips, thoughts or experience with this please let me know.
cheers
wes

What's the "best" lens?

Even so Zooms, well, some of them at list, like the case of the latest edition of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, the primes will always be the Best.

So if you are looking at which is the best lens, as in which one has the best image quality, then always look at Primes never at Zooms, if looking at which lens is the most versatile and best for a specific type of work, then look at Zooms, but the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L will actually be the best zoom, also the most used and versatile zoom in the entire Canon line up ever, just wait for the V2 to come out... You'll agree... ;)


The 24-70 is not just about what it gives as far as focal, but the particular look it gives, a unique lens on its own.
 
I traded all of my F4 zoom L lenses for the 28-300mm. I will post some clips later on my Facebook account.
 
Can I request that the Sigms 18-50 lens be supported soon? I would love to use this for my literal walk around / stedicam lens but right now I can't control the Iris. Thanks!
 
Hi,
the autofocus don't work with the firmware 3.3.4 and the poor Canon 50 mm f 1.8, (but it's OK with the "old" firmware 3.3.3).
...so, the scarlet-x crash when I press the AF button... :-(

The 24-70 is a great versatile lens. If I was forced to choose only one lens to be stuck with for the rest of my life that would probably be it.
 
Hey guys we just got the titanium mount, i'm sure this has been answered, but do you need lens support with this 70-200? It feels rock solid, I don't notice any bowing or anything. I've heard that you do with the Aluminum one.
 
Yea the thing is built like a tank, that's why I figured I could forgo a whole rail lens support setup.
 
PLEASE HELP ME JARRED! I don't see any teleconverters on the list and I really love using mine with the 70-200. Could you please help us out and hook us up with some power to the teleconverter. Mine is a Vivitar and it works just like any other so I'd hate to have to buy a Canon one just to get power to the IS on my lens. At 400mm it's a helluva big deal not having the great IS from the MarkII available. It always worked fine on the Birger mount (I know, that's probably a bad word). Please, please, please.
