hi ,

dont know which mount works better with the fs100 , i will be using sigma, tamron and tokina lenses ,

so which mount i should go for , Nikon or Canon metabones ?
 
If you have a choice of lenses then the Nikon mount will be less expensive (assuming you want to control iris) as its all mechanical. If you already have glass, then choose the mount that will work with your lenses.
 
Canon FD mount works great. EF mount will be a problem, as you will need an expensive electronic adapter, or just do without aperture control.

Nikon pre-G lenses are great, as there's an aperture ring on the lenses. G lenses will need the aperture controlled from the adapter -- since this is a mechanical link, there's no electronics required; but since you're using the lens's stop-down lever, it's not super-precise.
 
The advantage of the Canon mount is that with a smart adapter like metabones, you will be able to use Image Stabilisation if you lenses support it. With nikon mount, it,s impossible since there is no smart adapter on the market yet.

i think metabones solved the iris problem , or perhaps a fader nd filter 2-8 stops may do the job , I just saw birger's ef mount with wireless focus , dont know where to buy this thing or how much it costs , looks very handy when using a crane , dont know if u have an idea ?

i am kinda leaning towards the canon lenses , i just read some good reviews about the metabones and birger adapters , have u seen any ?
 
Birger adapter isn't out yet.

Advantage of Nikon lenses is that you can adapt them to Canon bodies and also use them on Nikon bodies. That's a small disadvantage to Canon-mount lenses; you can use them on Canon-mount bodies but cannot use them on Nikon bodies. So if you want the lenses that have the most adaptability, Nikon is a better bet. If you're only ever going to use the lenses on Canon bodies, by all means get Canon-mount.
