So there's been some talk of the Canon mount. What's the word on a Nikon one? I have a bunch of Nikon lenses I'd like to use when I get my Epic. Suppose a Nikon to Canon adapter would do the trick for my manual lenses right?

Nikon to Canon is an easy conversion that will cost you $100 on ebay.

Or.... You can do it the right way and get the ProLock mount...Originally Posted by Rob Ruffo

The Prolock is made by Optitek and is nikon mount that includes a positive locking (PL) mechanism and iris control for Nikon G lenses. I have one for my Red One and Zeiss ZFs. For the occasional use the Red Nikon mount was fine but the Pro lock is a big step up and has made using my Zeiss ZF and occasional Nikon glass a more reliable experience. If your Nikon glass is auto focus it would be worth waiting for a smart mount but if your glass are older AI models go for the Prolock that I understand will be upgraded to fit Epic sometime in the future.
