Hi Felix,

some first thoughts about mount?

 

[Michael Su]

Sweet! Looking forward to your thoughts on this mount, as some of us have Nikon mount lenses!

 

[Paul Rondeau]

Cool! How's the locking mechanism on it?

 

[felix p]

hi paul. its ok. its not rock-solid. but u can use ur "old" nikon glass

 

[Ian B. Johnson]

does it provide iris control on G lenses?

 

[Bob Gundu]

Nope.

does it provide iris control on G lenses?

Very interesting. Why do you call it "not rock-solid"? Do you mean when you use a huge lens or all lenses?
Does it void warranty?

Thanks

Pat

Since it uses genuine Nikon parts, it's not really designed for heavy use (IMHO). There may even be a little play between lens and mount. Hence the reason I went with the Optitek which locks like a PL mount and controls iris.

Matthew at Duclos lenses just turned me onto an easy do it yourself mount swap for Nikon F & G to EF. I ordered these to swap out my ZF.2s to a solid EF mount. Might be worth considering as well since for 5 lens mounts it was under $500. http://www.leitax.com/

I'm little bit confused with "little play between mount and lens"

I used RED Nikon mount with RED ONE.

Can someone compare these two mounts? Is Cinemods "little play" same as RED Nikon mount or is it worse?

 

[Bob Gundu]

I don't have the Redmods to compare. I just know that the Optitek has zero play. I do know that my Nikon D3 with nikon lenses will exhibit a tiny bit of play. Therefore I'm concluding that the Cinemods mount may exhibit the same issue.

Martin, thanks for this info. It's a good option for us to just change out the mounts and still be able to use the glass we like!

I have to say that this is a bit disappointing. I was thinking of getting this. I understand that they use original nikon parts. Is there play just with one lens or generally with all lenses? It would be good to hear experiences from others who have used this mount.
