Red One Nikon Mount Lens Options?

[Mike Krumlauf]

Hey Guys,

So I recently installed a Nikon Mount to my R1 body and i tried putting an off brand "Cimark 28mm f2.8" onto the camera and it did not fit. Which exact nikon mount is the red one's mount.. in short, which nikon and off brand nikon lenses work properly with the red one's nikon mount.

Hi Mike,

Red uses the Nikon F mount.

Hi Mike,

I have had great luck with the Optitek Nikon Pro Lock for my Nikon brand lenses and also, Rokinon and Tokina Nikon mount lenses. No electronics though.

There are two original mounts for Nikon lenses for the Red One, sold by Red.

One is earlier, uses a Nikon part.

The other is later, uses a stainless steel PL style locking ring. It is the current mount sold on their website.

They work with all Nikon F mounted lenses.

I made them both. The lens you mention might not be in Nikon mount.

I'll put in another vote for the Optitek mount. It's solid.

Mike, I'd suggest looking at Rokinon's cine set. They're cheap, come in Nikon F mount, and they look great for the price.

Why is there no 50mm in that Rokinon set? That's a pretty big gap, and one of my favorite focal lengths.

They have a set with a 50 as well... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1107510-REG/rokinon_cine_ds_lens_for.html/prm/alsVwDtl

Now that's a set. How well do you think they'd cut with Canon L-series primes? We're using the Birger/Impero on our One, but for our next film, we'll be buying a second One and will need some lenses for it.

Eh, I'm sure it's doable. Here's what Matthew Duclos had to say about them a while back.

IMO, the Rokinon Cine primes are exactly what you get for the money. They are the trainers, disposable, introduction, stunt double, basic lenses. They're going to produce nice images with decent optics and nice fast apertures, but that's about it. Their manual control is excellent as a learning tool or for setups that don't require precision. They aren't great lenses, but for the money, you can't compare them to much else. Basically, I would prefer a Rokinon 35mm T1.5 over a Canon L series for motion picture work, strictly for the manual controls and cine-style setup. Horses for courses
