Everything you wanted to know about the EPIC Canon Mount

[Patrick Grossien]

Hi Jarred, thanks for the list again! Would you mind making the list a sticky, where it's being upgraded ... or am I just missing it???

 

[Kaku Ito]

Thank you Jarred!

 

[M.D. Hilton]

Jarred,

I never actually examined the lens list carefully until now, I guess I just assumed my lenses would all be supported. They all are, except one:

Any hope of getting my favorite wide zoom supported in the near future?

This has got to be one of the most popular non-Canon lenses that users will want support for +1

This lens may not be officialy supported but I have been using it without a problem.

Jarred, if you're listening... :mellow:

I am curious about the Canon 70-200 f/4L IS. I see that the non-IS version is supported but not this particular lens. Is it safe to assume that this would work, too. Or, is there something about the IS that might cause problems. Meanwhile, both of the IS versions of the 70-200 f/2.8 are supported. Hmmm....

 

[Phil Holland]

Canon EF 100mm f/2.0 USM
Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II

Jarred, neither of these lenses are operating on the Scarlet X properly with the latest firmware. The aperture goes in and out intermittently and it seems to cycle through strange focal distances.

70-200mm f/2.8 IS is my favorite canon lens

Always have it with me too... Have you tried the USM II? I'm sure you have.

 

[Terry VerHaar]

70-200mm f/2.8 IS is my favorite canon lens

I remember you saying that , which is definitely a big reason I am considering it. :thumbsup: But, it costs about twice as much as the f/4.

Can I assume, from your answer, that the f/4 IS hasn't been tested and approved? :smiley:

It's so worth waiting a little longer for. A much better lens.

 

[Jarred Land]

f/4 is still a few months out.. it is a great lens, nice and sharp, but the breathing is pretty bad so its a bit lower on the list.

 

[Claus Mueller]

70-200mm f/2.8 IS is my favorite canon lens

70-200 f/2.8 IS II is my favorite all-around lens. Have you tried the new 300 f/2.8 IS II? This is a fantastic lens, even with 1.4x/2x extender extremely sharp

 

[Demetri Zuev]

Jarred, is it possible to "force" Canon lenses' aperture to perform as smooth as the Nikon lens aperture in your recent vid?

Or Canon glass owners will always have to deal with "clicks" because the lens motor won't allow that?

OK - maybe you've convinced me. :smiley:

Pardon me if the answer to this question is buried in some thread that my considerable diligence didn't uncover, but will the aluminum Canon mount also work on the Epic? In the store, only titanium Canon and PL mounts are listed as ala carte mounts, and on the Epic X (brain only) page, the only mount options listed are for those two titanium mounts. Is it possible to buy the aluminum Canon ala carte and use it with Epic?

Any piece for the Scarlet will work with the EPIC and vice versa. The reason why you can't buy a Aluminum Canon Mount "ala carte" is because RED wishes to fill all orders for the Scarlet/Al Canon mount first...

 

[Frazier Nivens]

Same here...

I'm using it to, manual focus is best, but it is working, aperture control also.

Really nice lens, I still have to do some tests to see how it does stopped down.

This is my favorite lens and I've got the Canon 16-35mm 2.8L.

It's sharp, but I am not at all a fan of the look. Sharpness isn't everything.
