Hello,
We have been asked by Alexa users to make professional Canon EF mount for Alexa. The camera has been around for a while and still makes great pictures while the price on the used market came down significantly.
We have just completed the prototype and tested it here :

Available to order just the mount to control aperture on autofocus lenses that have no aperture ring or as a complete lens control system with the focus controller and wireless receiver.
All powered up from the camera front so no external power is needed. No gears one AF lenses are needed either.
Please let me know if there are any questions jacek@optitek.org

We now have installation video.
We plan to start shipping late February or early March.
With the available OptiTron2 EFF (Electronic Follow Focus) 32 seconds to set up the FF
40 seconds to go from wired to wireless.
Internally powered, plug and play.
I think this setup can give the reasonably priced secondary market Alexas new lease on life in the mobile productions... ;)

We are shipping production units now. Thank you to all those that ordered- we appreciate your support. We are also at this time engineering a screw in filter holder so ND filters can be added in the back. ;)
