Simmod Canon FD Lens to RED Camera Mount

The Simmod Canon FD to RED DSMC / DSMC2 Adapter is a precision-machined adapter designed to mount Canon FD lenses onto RED DSMC and DSMC2 camera systems while maintaining registration accuracy, alignment, and mechanical stability.

Mount Interface

• Lens mount: Canon FD
• Camera mount: RED DSMC / DSMC2

The adapter installs between the lens and camera body, allowing Canon FD lenses to operate on RED camera systems without permanent modification to the lens.

Mechanical Design

The adapter is designed around a rigid mechanical structure intended for cinema lens support and repeatable alignment.

• Fixed Canon FD lens interface
• Secure DSMC / DSMC2 mount connection
• Reduced rotational play and mount movement
• Designed for use with cine support systems and follow focus accessories

The mount geometry is engineered to maintain alignment under operational load.

Construction

• Precision-machined metal construction
• Matte black internal finish to reduce reflections and stray light
• CNC-machined components for dimensional consistency and fit accuracy

The structure is designed to maintain rigidity during use with cinema rigs and accessory-supported workflows.

Mechanical Performance

• Maintains proper registration distance for Canon FD to RED conversion
• Supports infinity focus
• Designed to preserve optical alignment between lens and sensor
• Provides a stable mechanical interface for cine operation

The adapter is compatible with vintage Canon FD lenses commonly used in cinema workflows and cine-modified lens sets.

System Behavior

• Fully mechanical adapter
• No electronic communication or metadata transfer
• Manual focus and aperture operation only
• Does not alter optical characteristics of the lens

Installation

• Canon FD lens mounts directly into the adapter
• Adapter attaches to RED DSMC / DSMC2 camera mount
• No permanent modification to the lens required

Proper support is recommended when using heavier lenses or motor-driven accessories.

Notes

• Designed specifically for Canon FD lenses and RED DSMC / DSMC2 camera systems
• Intended for cinema workflows involving support systems and follow focus accessories
• Flange calibration may vary depending on lens and camera tolerances
