  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Anyone else having issue with Iris control on the Weapon with the Red Nikon mount?

I can't get any control of the iris on my Otus. The apeture show up N/A on the monitor and moving the manual iris doesn't do anything as the mount has looked you out.

Weapon CF on the latest firmware
 
should I roll back to fix this while we wait for an update?
Can I even roll back? I just picked up my Weapon CF so want to shoot and need iris control to do that.
 
removed the mount and re-installed it. Once I rebooted the camera updated the Nikon Mount firmware and did a reboot.
Now all is good and working as it should.
 
Sometimes with my Weapon (not on the newest firmware) I have to reseat my Nikon glass and/or make sure there is a SSD in the slot. I rarely have to reboot.. And of course I am sad that there is not complete support for my old Nikkor 28-70mm which I use a lot. I can control aperture but not other features. May have to trade up to the 24-70mm.
