[cinemano]

Does anyone have a clue what the IMS mount for the RED will or does cost?

hmm.. at that price id rather wait for a canon mount then get a contax adapter. besides which, RED might reject it when returning for credit for the epic. ?

[Manuel Wenger]

Thats my concern too, i´d rather struggle a bit for a year with the original mount (which shouldn´t be that bad at all) and have the option to trade in for an Epic Camera

[Martin Weiss]

Well, you could just take off the IMS mount and replace it with the original Red PL mount — just like with the Nikon mount.

So that should not be a point of worries.

Just opens up a whole world of possibilities.

i remember they lowered the price or want to, because they want to change how the mount swap takes place...more like swap the mount by yourself and
pay around 800 €...best would be to contact them.

I ordered the set last week, 680 euros for the ims mount, 205 for the PL mount and 480 for the professional Nikon F mount (which does not have the play like the normal mount has. All other mounts are in the range of 250-300 euros each, so a good deal.(Anyone interested in my surplus RED-nikon Mount ? I will sell it as soon as the IMS arrives (half july). Only some test images shot)

Thanks Mick.
