Lens mount: Canon AL versus TI how to tell?

[Adam Brian Dada]

I picked up a used Red Scarlet-W from a popular camera merchant who I believe is well vetted.

They listed the lens mount as the Canon Titanium mount but honestly I can't tell which version I received. All of the original boxes came for the other parts but not for the lens mount so I can't vet it myself.

I browsed online for a good 2 hours looking for some kind of non-marketing photo of the two mounts side-by-side but naturally didn't find anyone who would happen to have both.

Can anyone tell me how I can tell which mount I might have?

Thanks, Samir! Those photos are much more clear.

From what I can tell, the major difference is the aluminum mount has an anodized black square portion, while the titanium is shiny silver colored. If that's correct, I do in fact have the titanium mount on mine.

Appreciate the fast reply!

That's the quickest way to identify.

Yeah Titanium is Silver/steel. Aluminum is black.

Thanks again, folk! The RED official site definitely shows those color differences now, but when I was looking at it before I didn't notice the black at all.
