A little Nikon Love....

[Jarred Land]

I know it's hard for you Nikon lens guys out there to watch all the Canon guys having all the fun.. so I thought I would share a little clip from the final prototype that just came in.. it's pretty incredible. The Nikon mount as most of you know has been a bit tricky as Nikon requires actual motors in the mount where Canon has the motors in the lenses.

Anyways... here you go.. first look at the DSMC Nikon Mount in action.. Here is the Iris control "dampened" mode that takes out the click click click shifts you sometimes see in iris pulls. Since we make the motors.. we can make it pretty damn smooth.

But I will enjoy the Optitek in the meantime. Thank you for the comforting words, Jarred.

Nice one! Look forward to order the Nikon mount.

BTW, it will go nicely with my my Nikon Nikonos mount, which has a nice feature of being water resistant:

Pawel's probably asleep so I'll answer for him - and it's yes! He has a link to pictures and info in the bubble blowers thread and the epic underwater housing thread.
