I am selling my Nikon Pro Lock Mount which has seen only a few lenses so far and was used only as spare.
Photos can be seen at:
www.dwcimages.com/nikonprolock/
This mount locks Nikon lenses as well as a PL mount.
Perfect for heavy lenses.
Attention: This mount was made for Version 1 Fan Motor.
If use Epic with Fan Motor 2, the Mount needs to be modified.
After checking with Optitec, there is no problem to convert the mount if needed.

Price : 750 USD.

The mount is currently in Tokyo.
 
Hi Dorian,
Can you shoot me a still of it on a DSMC2 body so I can see the 'adjustment' / 'conversion' it'd need for the new fan position please?

FYI: I'd need 4 captive bolts & shipping to the UK.

Thanks, Stu
 
Hi Stuart,
I am sorry, I don't have a DSMC2 Body to show it to you.
I can ask Optitec who made the Mount.
 
Hi Stuart,
I received reply from the owner of Optitek, Jacek:
"we can modify the iris gear to fit dsmc2 or he can just remove it if he does not need it.
Screws are no problem just pay for shipping. "
When I ask him, if you can modify it yourself he replied:
"Yes he can remove the gear himself.
We need to do the modification"

I think, Jacek is a very straight guy and very helpful!
I know him for a long time.

Cheers
Dorian
 
well.... I pasted exactly his email. He say, if you need the iris ring, he can modify it, you could remove it yourself and send him for modification.
At least, that is how I understood.

I will be coming to Los Angeles next week and can bring the mount with me.
Buyer pays for shipment within the US.
New price: USD 495.00 plus shipping

Back to 450 USD if Buyer pays for shipping.
 
Wait, I'm confused, this looks like the same Optitek I've seen in other photos that people say works fine on DSMC2. Why would the iris gear need to be modified? There really isn't anything sticking out the front of DSMC2 to obstruct anything on this mount.

I'm possibly interested, by the way!

You are correct Josh. The DSMC1 bottom V2 fan motor was the culprit. Not anymore ;-)
 
Thank you Jacek for explaining this! I just wanted to contact you about this.
