Rear Net on RPP's

[Aaron Bernakevitch]

Hey FilmGang

I was hoping to use these on an upcoming project just wanted to check if anyone had put them on the RPPs

I know they are cheap but shipping, customs etc to canada and I just wanted to ensure that they would work as they website says they only work with certain lenses.

Thanks

hmm, dunno. what's wrong with a stocking?

These don't say they are compatible with pl mount lenses. From the description:
"The i-Ring fits over the rear of most standard 2/3" video lenses, B4 mount DV, Beta and Hi-Def cameras and lenses."

So I doubt they would work

Hey Matt

It also says

Fits Canon, Fujinon, Optex and Angenieux Lenses.

And the photos look like the
mounts to a PL lens, no?

You can put nets on the back of PL. The big risk is the net will start to rip - especially if it's a Dior silk stocking (now rarer than solid gold aircraft). I seem to recall seven dennier was the most sought after - there was a guy selling pieces of them online for about fifty bucks for a couple of inches.
