Nodal Ninja Lens Ring is designed for use with the Nodal Ninja Ultimate R1/R10, Ultimate M and RS Pano Heads which have become popular due to their compactness and ease of use. Lens rings are built with special attention to the safety of the lens. Can be also used with Nodal Ninja Ultimate R10 for Google Business Views (Google Trusted Photographers). Purchase when you are getting a panorama head without a lens ring or if you need a different lens ring.
This lens ring is designed for Sigma 8mm or Sigma 15mm lens for Canon cameras. Important: Always use a proper lens ring for your lens. Improper use of lens ring may cause stress and damage to the lens.
Introducing the New Lens Ring "V2"
Nodal Ninja customers have been asking for modifications of existing lens rings to allow full access of controls on the lens. We've made modifications to the plastic insert and outer metal ring to allow for reading the focus distance in both landscape and portrait orientations. And in some cases, switch(es) on the lens can also be accessed through these windows. As with V1 the new V2 is compatible with Nodal Ninja Ultimate R1, R10, RS1/2, and Nodal Ninja Ultimate M series model heads.
Mounting Ring To Google R10 Panorama Head
When mounting your lens ring to the clamp on the panorama head make sure you set the right shift according the information below. If you use the plastic stop (included for free in our warehouse with every Google package), your panorama head will set up automatically. However we do ask customers to double check the settings:
Proper settings for lens rings V1
Canon F4 8-15 = 1.8
Sigma F3.5 8mm for Canon = 0.85
Sigma F3.5 8mm for Nikon = 1.4
Proper settings for lens rings V2
Canon F4 8-15 = 2.1
Sigma F3.5 8mm for Canon = 0.45
Sigma F3.5 8mm for Nikon = 1.4
