I recently purchased a OCT-19 mount for my Redrock Micro35 adapter from Lensmounts.com and since I could find no feedback anywhere about them have decided to post my experience both here and on the RR forum. Since I couldn't find a used RR OCT-19 mount and this was the only other vendor in the world making this mount specific to the RR I felt like I had to go for it and buy one even though they had no feedback. I am happy to report that mount is very well made and fits the RR perfectly. I would say that the machining is up to par with anything I have used from Arri or other world class companies. It looks as if it came originally with the RR. Aside from a little poor communication with regards to shipping (which they made good for free) the transaction and on time delivery were smooth. I would certainly order from this company again, and recommend them to others. What is best is that I am now using my OCT-19 mount LOMO lenses. Sweetness.
best

We used to use these guys before to manufacture our PL and OCT-19 mounts for the SGpro. They are very professional guys and offer high quality mounts. They worked with myself on the actual design of these.
We made the decision to change manufacture only because they are a small outfit and specialize in 'one off' orders mainly so we could get far better quantity discount elsewhere.
Since most customers would only be looking at one off orders, I can highly recommend these guys!

Do you have an e-mail address to contact them. Their form on the website to submit a message leads you to yahoo and I don't want to create a yahoo account just to contact them.... I would like to ask them if they plan on making a contax mount for the SGPro. I don't like adapter rings...

Hi,
I can't give out their direct email I am afraid.
We are just about to commence machining of our stainless steel Contax C/Y mount with outer collimation ring, this will work with both the Blade and SGpro. We want to get a batch in for end of January.
