Hello everybody :-)
Let me indroduce myself and start with shameless promotion :-)
My name is Rafael Pankratau, and we offer different cinema related things for sale.
Latest additions are Arri PL mounts for Redrock Micro M2 DOF system.

OCT-19 version will be ready in a week or so. PL and OCT-19 mounts for Letus Extreme is pending tests of the customer to see if it fits well and match FFD.
Feel free to ask your question.
Thanks
 
I saw it for $450 at their store. My price is 235 euro that is about $350 that is $100 less then their price.
 
I've got a Canon EOS mount for a reference, and will start to work on PL and OCT-19 mounts for SGPro. I have one question for now. I got mount consisting of two parts. First one is a flat ring-spahed plate with 3 holes for screws at edge, and with female m39 threaded hole in the center. Second part is EOS mount with corresponding male m39 thread.
Now, I suppose that you can just unscrew your original still image lens mount, and screw on this EOS mount.
OR, you can unscrew those 3 allens at the edge of the plat plate, and install both parts I got as single unit.
If I'm right in this assumption, my main question is: what is diameter of the opening of the SGPro unit beneath that flat plate? I'm afraid m39 is too small to work with big rear parts of the cine lenses. So, I hope that opening of the SGPro is wider, but does anybody know exact diameter?
Thanks
 
Sure :-) 50% off retail price on the mount (free mount offer was for those who sends a reference mount, but I paid for this one $125 myself) :-)
No discounted lenses though :-)
 
you've got yourself a deal.
i would have liked the discount lenses... but i've been going to your site semi-regularly for about a year and there are never any oct-19 lenses in stock. everything is always sold out. what's up with that?

what exactly would you like photos/measurements of?
 
LOMO lenses became rare here. So, I'm selling them same day as I list them usually except faulty or expensive lenses.
I'm considering remounting other lenses, but this has many issues, and not every lens can be converted to some widely used format like PL.
 
Do your mounts have a way to adjust the back focus independent from the back focus adjustments on the 35mm adapter. That would make them valuable since the 35mm adapters don't tend to be reliable.

I noticed this already, but our first mounts will be without micro adjustment yet. We thinking of it, but can't decide on quite simple and reliable adjustment system. If you have good ideas, please share them :)
Most obvious approach is just threaded couples of the mount body with securing mechanism. Only problem is some play in thread that may cause uneven focus in the field of view. We are thinking about solution in form of tightening ring that will secure threads in their place firmly. But if you have better ideas, please let me know.
Meantime, I'm planning either to supply sets of spacers (say, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.4mm, and 0.8mm), or to make precise spacers on demand after customer tested the mount with his adapter.

I feel it fair to mention that our PL and OCT-19 mounts will soon be reduced to £129 and will include 'back focus adjustment on the fly'. This will make them the most affordable PL and OCT-19 mounts on the market.
 
How soon is soon? Any date?

Looks like you'd better hurry, Raf. :B They're getting wise to charging 500 for a PL mount.
 
I'll return your EOS mount then as useless :)
BTW, your shipping service is outstanding. Same day dispatch, and 6 days delivery. Thanks :)
Talking seriously, I'm still interested to make our own mounts, especially OCT-19, taking into account some problems with them unlike with more unified PL mounts.
 
great news wayne! are they stainless?

for the raf mount to be an economically viable alternative, it would need to be priced really really cheaply... mightn't even be worth the effort. :undecided

EDIT: raf beat me to it :D
 
Don't worry, Patrick. I'll use slave labour to make my mounts cheaper and still profitable ;)
BTW, there is no need in stainless steel mounts. If you not use incandescence steel, titanium will be more light and cheap solution. If you'll use hard incandescence steel, it may damage lenes mount ears. So, I'm planning to use titaniam and aluminium. Only reasonable steel part is flange determining ring, I think, though even this is not necessary.
