Lomo Diana Lens->Nikon Mount->Red One?

[Eren Ozkural]

Hey guys,

As an avid lomographer I just can't get enough of lo fi plastic analogue cameras. As a fervant Reduser I can't get enough of having a camera with resolution to burn, nice dynamic range and high frame rates.

I was happy to see a Diana lens to Nikon mount adapter at the Lomography store in Carnaby Street here in London. Being a Nikon shooter as well it was a no brainer to have it in my Christmas stocking list...

The thought just occurred to me now that it may be compatible with the Red. Imagine that, crummy twee plastic lenses on a state of the art digital cinematography camera that screams "military industrial design". It's like having hippies in the army :tongue_smilie:

Long story short, the subject permitting, I'd love to use this combo on my next music video. The aesthetics and the idea just tickles me.

Here's some links to the adapter and sample images.

And yes, these are technically medium format lenses so they should work on the Epic Monstro 645. :001_wub:
