Nice job! I wonder which is the better all-round digital SLR solution - Nikon or Canon?

[dlunderdahl]

I think that is really personal preference now. Both Nikon and Canon cameras are superb.

Hi, I have a cuestion, when you used the nikon lenses, did you have some problem with the 4k format. i´m going to use photo lenses with red one, and i have some doubts. thanks.

[dlunderdahl]

No problem with still photo lenses and the RED. Modern, expensive cine lenses such as those by Arri and Cooke have updated mechanics for accurate focus changes but the optics of still photo lenses are comparable.

Great info! Do you know if you can use old manual SLR lenses as well? Or are you only able to use lenses with sensors?

[dlunderdahl]

You can use any lens that has a Nikon mount, so old manual lenses as well as the newer DX or G series all work with this mount, and with the RED.

A good copy of a high end still lens is a very capable piece of equipment for this camera. Red One is a "budget camera" remember? I am glad that you know a thing or two about lenses, though

[TheCrudMan]

Whichever your friends have so you can borrow their lenses.

WOULD A RED BE suitable for filming a wedding ?

What is the model of the Nikon lens?

Hi, I wonder how to change the adapter, I have the PL on, and now I received the Nikon one, It is complicated? Or just un-screew and screew?

Many thanks I'm a rookie on this...

[jimenezdeloso]

Tradicionally, Nikon had better lenses, but Canon nicer auto-focus. But now, is soso, a personal opinion.

two of the best camera companies

[maxmays1]

so basically this is alround adapter that allows to us G/DX lenses. so you can still use every other nikon lenses aswell though, correct?

[maxmays1]

@sedona159 alot of people and myself believe Nikon is a better photo camera..with the new dslr video shooting capabilities Canon is superb do to the fact they offer higher fps and have bigger sensors

[Cjarreola93]

Lol what kind of camera were you using to record this video? another Red? xD

[kisslite]

Oh yes; you are spot on - There is absolutley a clear advantge over using a Nikon lens on a Red or any other high end digital source over a Zeiss prime on say a DV Cam - they surely do have apurpose and the beautiful thing about all of that is that they are widely available, cheap as chips and you can rent a full Red One rig for around a £1K per day - However and this is the biggy - Why use a Red if you are not oututting to cinema and if you are surely you could afford to hire the lenses too !!

[lazlobass]

I am pretty sure that this mount will not fit the scarlet. Hopefully there will be a equivalent mount for this camera.
