    • I’ve come close to pushing the ZR button a few times now and there are really only 3 things that have prevented me doing so… 1. The file sizes of that Red Raw codec. Apparently N raw is the next best option and there are of course some ‘workarounds’, but until there is a compressed version that maxes out at no more than 1000 mbps, it’s just too much and one of the principal draws of this camera is the Red codec. 2. I’m not unhappy with L Mount. In fact the opposite except for one factor and that is the absence IMO of equivalent lenses to Sony’s: 28-70 f2, 50-150 f2 and Tamron’s 35-100 f2.8. It’s ‘almost’ worth switching just for these lenses alone, but that last word, ‘alone’, but alone is not enough and lenses aside, everything else that L Mount, specifically Lumix offers, beats that of Nikon & Sony. 3. I still have hope that from within the L Mount Alliance, over the coming Winter and next Spring, either (or even both) a rangefinderesque camera will appear from either Lumix or Sigma and at least one rival for one of the lenses above, will appear. Unlikely to be a Leica, but next gen FP a possibility and even more likely, an S9ii? 4. Bonus reason, - switching not only costs money, but there is always a settling in period with any new system that frustrates. So my set up now just works, I have it and I like it and as above, my only real crit is with regard to certain lenses, but the ZR body style just appeals to me and I would like that rear LCD, but ideally as a fully articulated unit which is a bit of a missed opportunity IMO.
    • Well, my initial review is very short and succinct. "Doesn't fucking work.  At all." Judging by their FAQ, I received a defective unit, as on my R5, it just shows F00 and won't switch out of MF mode.  On the C80, it displays a communication error and won't autofocus.  After updating the adapter firmware, no change.  Their utility to program it also does not find it after I follow their instructions to connect it... at least on my Mac.  I'll try it on a Windows computer later tonight, maybe. Also, even if it did work, it won't be usable on an RF mount Red.  On my OG Komodo, the chin/motor of the adapter hits the chin of the camera.  I didn't try it on the Komodo-X, but the horizontal/vertical dimensions are identical or nearly identical so I don't expect a different result there. Asked Amazon to replace it.  I think they ship the replacement before I send back the original...  though it ships from China.  So I guess we'll see in 7-14 days whether the replacement works.
    • Well, it wasn't in May, but mine just arrived!  Let's see how/if it works...
    • That’s so awesome. Amazing to see how far ML has pushed the life of these cameras.
