RF to LPL mount with NDs

[Matthias ashford]

Anyone know if this exists? Would like to get LPL lenses on the raptor with some built in NDs. With the recent arrival of lpl mounts for Simmod stills conversions the possibility of using my old sets of glass on this camera with an LPL mount would be potentially game changing. If it doesn’t exist does anyone know if anything like this is being developed?

I definitely don't know, so hope you'll excuse some wild speculation: not likely. I recently went on a journey to track down an LPL-to-RF mount and support for a Komodo and found there were few choices.

In case you're interested, though, the Vocas LPL mount with support ribs wound up working great. Just had to put ND in front of the lens.

LPL mount is great.. and behind the lens NDs are a fantastic time saver.. together is not looking great! Kippertie has a fantastic LPL mount but ithe cameras RF mount doesn't leave enough space to stick in a internal ND system ....

Red could do it but only in a new camera or in a mount for the XL.

My favourite modern lenses are Signatures and my favourite Vintage lenses are Canon Rangfinders rehoused by TLS.... If I shoot Venice or Arri I can have behind the lens NDs ... not so with Red :-(

PS the Simmod stuff looks great and the Mamiyas are fantastic on a Raptor...
