Isn't this called the BIRGER thread? I don't think that looks like a birger mount to me.. And the two are NOT comparible.

Well I benefitted from that post.
I would say they are comparable as they attempt to give the end-user control of canon lenses on MFT cameras.
Sure they are different levels of control but control nonetheless.
 
Then let's make a new thread that FOCUSES on the product that he's talking about.. I think the owner of Birger is posting on here cause the thread is focusing on his product. I cannot speak for him, but I know I woudl be a lot less inclined to post if I was suddenly being thrown in with a bunch of competition all in the same thread.

I think the product he posted about may have some merit to some, but let's give that product another thread and not muddy up the waters is all I'm sayin.

No need to defend Erik, Jay.

Birger has already been a lot less inclined to post here for the last six months and then only to explain another delay. Hey, they don't even update their own website. Just sayin.

I for one welcome the Redock post by Jesse Brauning and find it very relevant and beneficial. This may have started as a Birger thread but it has morphed into an EF lens thread for the many AF100 owners with no where to turn to utilize their Canon lenses. We've talked very openly about the Kipon alternative with no objection.

Sure, the Birger will probably be superior to others - I've already requested one from my dealer - but this is a thread for discussion and I see no reason to complain about informative content and alternatives.

BTW, there already is a separate thread. http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?246538-Redrock-Micro-MFT-Canon-EF-adapter

I think we all benefit from sharing as much information as possible. This is about users helping each other and I find it useful when people provide additional solutions that we all may be interested in. I personally will be going for the Birger because I want all that it gives, but even early on people have said (some) that the price point was beyond what they wanted. Now, people might be giving multiple solutions. The best part, is overall, people *know* what is out there when making a decision to buy.
 
" They now have an 'expected delivery date' of early July on their website!"


OMG. That really stinks if true. It is frustrating having to use inferior glass just to get by until the Birger Mount ships. I love my Canon glass but this is starting to get silly. One delay after another it seems. I sure hope this is a mistake and they ship in a week or two.

Frustrating! Ugh
 
Not necessarily, but that isn't what I was addressing. The question was what the website said. Given all that happened in Japan and the disruption of certain segments of the manufacturing pipeline in the world, I'm assuming many companies could get hit with a little more delay.

Fair point!
I just hope they have not missed the boat with fs-100 on it's way and restock on there tails

Seems like the Japan disaster is a God sent for a lot of tech companies (late to market with products) out there. Likely excuse. What a shame....
To be honest I have not heard Eric made this excuse however. Rarity these days. What could Eric possibly be getting from Japan? He's had the hardware for years-it's software that he's fighting.... Please guys stop with making excuses - it trivializes the suffering there- have some respect.....
OK- rant over!!!
 
I put in a preorder with rule on Friday, I'm excited, they said I'd be one of the few in the first batch. Hope late May is realistic, would love to do a review for all Folks on the fence about AF100 vs FS100...
 
i wish they post some samples of what their mount does, some field work, where we could see af at work and OIS with canon lanses at work
 
Delays are understandable, but announcing a delay this close to a launch seems unlikely. I'm really hopeful Birger is hitting this late-May date.
That said, who besides Rule Camera is taking pre-orders?
 
Bleeding edge doesn't negate customer service (consideration). Successful tech companies realize the need to communicate and respect obligations to customers. Case in point: It's May 16th, if Birger is unable to meet the "late-May delivery" they're riding on the bleeding edge laurels (tough act to keep up). They must know by now if they're going to make/break the deadline. If not, and they chose to neglect announcing it, shame on them. Again, I'm hopeful!
My question, besides Rule Camera who is taking pre-orders?
