Nikon Lens...

[Chuck T.]

I have few Nikon AF-S ED (Full Frame) lens; there is no aperture ring on these lens. How do I control the aperture manually if I were to use them with RED or Cannon 5D MK2...? Any suggestions/options? Thx.

Or on Epic and Scarlet with the new Nikon electronic mount being by RED

For RED One, besides the Optitek Nikon mount, another option is the Long Valley Nikon mount (Doug Underdahl)

This forum is for questions about the DSMC system, so if you're asking about that (ie. putting Nikon glass on a Scarlet or Epic) then the answer is that RED will be selling electronic mounts that will let you change the aperture.

For the RED ONE, check out the Pro Lock as David suggested. I've heard it's really good (since it has a PL style lock unlike most still camera mounts). I don't know if there are any Nikon mounts for Canon cameras that let you change the aperture though...
