RED-EOS Mount

[Andy Lesniak]

Ready in about 3-4 weeks. (damn lead times from machine shops!)
pictures are from engineering prototype (not machine milled, 3dprinted)
installs as easy as nikon mount, just remove the 1st layer of pl mount, so warranty should be ok.
more info next couple of days...
back focus is maintained. (going to verify this for sure, might need slight adjustment)
this is a dumb mount currently, so f/stop is set on a canon body, you then hold the depth-of-field preview, and remove lens.

going to go shoot some footage with canon now... expect some stills/footage next day or so...

surprise coming too... clue... this is not a 1 trick pony..

Can you move the iris to a desired f/stop ?
If yes, congratulations !

 

[Sanjin Jukic]

Amazing!!!

 

[Andy Lesniak]

Since this version doesn't have the electronics to control the eos lens iris.
in order to set your f/stop you would use a eos camera body, set your f/stop
and then remove the lens while holding down the depth-of-field preview..

battle of the mounts...

Sorry, I cannot work like that.
Very very sorry !

What's the warranty sphincter factor on this one?

If birger isn't shipping by then, count me in.

HURRAY ... well done, the KISS principle always wins ;-) why or why Birger could not make a dum mount in the mean time will always remain a mistery !
How to order one ?

 

[Jason Ing]

and from the hints, this one may grow smarter. can a dumb mount be made smarter later on with a fairly priced upgrade?

 

[Martin Weiss]

Would this mount work with one of those Canon/Contax adapters from ebay?

 

[T. Glen Phelps]

Andy, how are you accommodating the smaller (44mm) Flange Focal Depth of the EOS mount without removing the larger (56mm FFD) PL mount? I can't tell from the photos.

 

[M Hsu]

if the canon mount works, then in theory any canon - contax or nikon adapter would work because canon has the shortest focal flange distance. I apologize if you already knew that. I would like to see this working though since Erik has pointed out that it's practically impossible to do this.

This looks like it plays within the rules.. so from the just the photos it looks like everyone's warranty would be fine... I will withhold final judgement until we see it in person though.

 

[Ken Willinger]

Was there ever a final judgement on the Muse Electronics Canon FD mount Jarred?

 

[C.H.Haskell]

Looks to be a canon version of RED's Nikon mount (which is great)...I am all for manuel, less electronic = less problems in the field.

I think he does it simple like this -see attachment. Will this be stable enough? Why not?

as long as no warranty issue is involved, count me in please!
Can´t wait to use my super-soft old Zeiss M42 lenses (with EOS-M42 adapter) on RED.
