Nikon Manual Focus Primes

[Prasenjit Chandra]

I have Nikon Manual Focus Primes with Canon EOS adapter ring. Can anyone uses these kind of lenses with Canon Muont Scarlet ? I am Planning to buy Canon mount Scarlet in future......whats your suggestion ?

 

[Alexey Milokost]

I use Nikkor 24 f2.0, 35 f1.4, 55 f1.2 on Epic. I like the image, but they breathe, which I hate.

Lens breathing aside the Nikon lenses with a canon adaptor work perfectly fine.

 

[Alexander Ibrahim]

Well, my suggestion is that you use those lenses with the Nikon plate Red announced at NAB.

For the primes ... the aluminum plate is just perfect. If you get in to the zooms, you may want the Ti plate.

I really wouldn't use the adaptors on a Scarlet or Epic. Some have, and its generally trouble free ... but mounting the "right" way is a smarter choice when dealing with a $14000+ camera. It also pus your warranty at less risk.

www.optitek.org makes a great Nikon mount for Epic and Scarlet, It's not on the website which only shows the one for Red One.
Locks lens tight and has a geared iris ring.

I have the Optitek and it's great but it may be obsolete as soon as the RED version ships, especially when the RED one is a smart mount with ramping aperture control.

Obsolete?!

Obsolete?!

Thanks Bob!:thumbsup:
Right now you can ramp the iris as well with the ProLock. Even on G lenses
We will offer Smart mount update for the Prolock when it's ready.
In line with the obsolescence obsolete mantra:beer:

Optitek's Nikon mount is great on the Epic & MX. Love mine.

I wish you could achieve an uprade of the R1 optitek nikon mount to fit the Epic. :beer:
Yea I know it's to much to ask...
Waiting for the next batch of prolock. :undecided:
Best

Unfortunately the EVF connector on the Epic would interfere with the iris ring on the R1 mount. No practical way around that.
