Sanjin!

You NEED to have your OWN autocollimator... LOL

Nope - you are! :wink:

The six small screws attach the Nikon mount to the flange - it'll be a flange change to switch to PL, as the rear barrel extension of PL lenses won't fit inside the internal diameter of the Nikon F mount (plus you've only got about 6mm to play with between the two flange depths, which is not really enough for a straight conversion)...

FWIW, I'm with Brook - I think you'll see an extra set of screws under the flange adaptation that house the PL mount, but Chuck's probably the man to ask about that, in all reality (failing the Red crew, of course!).

EDIT: Sorry, I've just realised this has already been covered by about 3 posts - my bad!

Mayby not. I doubt if you remove just the Nikon mount itself as the little screws holding it to the black tube would not stand up well to repeated mount and dismount. Besides the black tube looks shorter thern the one on the PL mount. Which would make sense as the Nikon FFD is 46.5mm as opposed to 52mm for the PL. But in the photo it looks like the second to the bottom left screw on the whole front standard is missing. Might just be an optical illusion...unlike the camera itself. LOL

I though it was just the internal ring. Duh me, duh. I plan on PL mount and RED glass to start.

I worry about how simple it will be to interchange these mounts (particularly within the same day) and how quick, practical and accurate repeated changing is.
 
Good stuff!

Any ETA on this one:

Battistella,

I don't forsee the mount changing on the RED camera as a problem area. The amount of surface area inherent in the interchangable round portion of the front end of the camera regardless of mount type is going to make for a solid and repeatable swapout. Just my two cents though...

Nice collection.
Good luck grading mixed shots made with all af that glass!
But given the time I guess it could work.

Jarred, how accurate would you say the swapping of mounts over is? That looks fairly solid to me. There's been a lot of discussion about collimation, did you collimate the mount at all? If so what instruments did you use and how much adjustment was required having swapped mounts?

Thanks

Paul

Hey Jarred if Evin can not make it out to me I still like to supply Him with my ZEISS ZF, I'm very interested to see how this lenses perform on RED.

Ciao,

Very, very nice. Great photo, too! I'm still undecided between this mount with a standard follow focus and manual prile lenses, or the Birger mount and AFS zooms... I'll wait for Evin's tests. And, Ketch, I'd love to see how those Zeiss ZF lenses perform on a RED.

can i be lame and get a c mount on this camera? just curious...

Are there any really high-quality C mount lenses? And don't those at most cover 2/3" format? If you need cheap lenses, I'd think the Nikon or Canon SLR lenses would be your first choice.
