Birger Mount

Little bit of a let down on the info, I heard such good things about them as a company. Hopefully the deadline does not move back any further:( I made the mistake of selling all my fd lenses to early. I have the kipon mount for now which is better than nothing.
 
How can it be possibly construed as a "letdown"? They said February 14th. It's not February 14th yet. They haven't moved the deadline at all.

Hiya did they sound confident on the delivery date?


Many thanks

I for one am not very confident in the Feb 14th date at all. Didn't they originally say December announcement with an early January release, expecting plenty of units to be available?

I would certainly have expected some news out of Birger by now. How about an update. Are there no prototypes out there? Nobody has reviewed it right? Plus their website is kinda a joke. You click on the link to preorder and you are directed to a page meant for the RED birger mount. Huh?

I sure hope I can get mine ASAP but I'd be surprised if anyone has a production unit anytime this month. Hope I'm wrong.
 
Well they're probably more engineers than marketing mavens, so their website will probably be updated when they're shipping units. That way no hurt feelers if they don't meet some deadline. But as Barry said, there has been nothing to say they aren't on target to ship february 14th...which also means they may have some pissy spouses if they work late that night.

Fair point! the feb 14th shipping date moved to the 21st on the creative video website. Would really like to have an update as I've already paid for mount and after the veiwfactor nightmare I'm a little but sceptical I guess. But hey, hope I'm wrong:)

:( hope I haven't made a mistake. But cvp have been good to me over the years. And I sort have no choice. 10 L series len's gathering dust and a body I carn't really use unless I spend more money on the olympus zooms. So it's just a waiting game. Could really do with a little bit of hope from birger
 
Anyone know someone at birger well enough to organize a group buy for dvxusers? Seems many of us will want one, so why not become our own dealer?

Have you looked into Fotodiox's adapter? (http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapter-Thirds-Olympus-Panasonic/dp/B003EAXT5G)

The price is right, though you'll need an EOS camera for iris control. At least you can dust off your lenses...
