Nikon Lens Adapter

[James T Mather]

Hi there,

I have searched the forums etc and found no actual mention of a Still lens adapter for the camera despite lots of talk about Nikon lenses etc - is a stills adapter being offered by red? or another third party? and is this something that fits between the PL and the lens or is it a more elaborate switch?

Many thanks

J.

Red will be shipping a Nikon F mount at the same time as the Red One. It will be additional $ though. Other mounts to follow later including Canon FD and possibly Leica.

The Nikon (and other) mount replaces the PL mount on the camera. The question remains as to how easy (or not) it will be to switch mounts.

Have you searched on dvxuser.com ? The red forum there is now closed, but archives are still available. Jim Jannard has clearly stated Red will be making a Nikon mount.

I carry three different mounts with my P+S Technik mini 35, PL;Nikon F;Canon FD. I'm hopefull that RED will make the change as easy as P+S .

Hmm, well Peter hasn't logged on in months. Does anyone else know how the P&S deals with collimation?

My guess is the mounts will be "Field Replaceable" which means in a camera truck or hotel room but not in an actual field!

Well, Jim :) posted on subject guaranteeing it would/will be...:

«Very easy. The Trick is to have the base to intermediate mount distance set at the factory and leave enough room for all possible mounts. More details pretty soon.

I´m going to use my (actually my wife´s) old Nikkor lenses, but also the Red 300mm. Hopefully I dont have to go to a hotel room to switch lenses.

Or do I?

Is there any interest by red in supporting Olympus or others 4/3 lenses.
