+1 to this, another fan here, doesn't get any better quality than Ronford - really nice, small, friendly team there too.
Steve

Yes, but as long as you understand the RAW workflow and make sure your traffic lights are not lit you should never clip and all you then need to do is bring down the highlights in post. In theory at...

Very nice!
Steve

Exposing as far to right as possible without clipping should mean you get less noise in the shadows.
Steve

I would guess, I'm pretty sure, that including AF in these lenses would have compromised their manual focussing abilities - you would need different mechanisms presumably - this is evidenced with...

That's the first time I've heard that. Not saying you're wrong but I'd say just the opposite, CF can snap and it also splinters.
Steve

I think that's a good plan!

Best of luck,

Steve

It does do 1080 but only by up-rezzing in camera - it's still only a 1 million pixel chip.
And you're right, they do allow 720 but usually only for certain types of shooting - most notably wildlife,...

One of the problems with 3CCD cameras like the HPX2700 though is that even a standard lens like an HJ22 will set you back at least £10,000! Being able to stick stills lenses on the Scarlet is such a...

I've done tons of business there, totally trustworthy, great site and always a big variety of gear.

Have you tried BBList? There're several Ronford Baker F4 kits with tall and short legs for around £1100-1500, also Sachtler Video 20 with legs and spreader £1750 - I'd take either of these over any...

No worries, just that it tends to fragment the discussion somewhat, you might suggest a Miller head in this thread while in the other one someone's already suggested it and maybe given details. I...

Never a good idea to post in multiple forums by t he way http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?83058-Gear-Recommendations as you risk a very confused dialogue!

From Alan at Epic-M, seems it would indeed be covered, just would need to do the usual transfer of ownership for $1000.
Thanks Alan.
Steve

I am doing just that, but why not just get it out here too - other people may want to know the answer too. If they can learn it here it will save them all emailing RED and RED taking time to answer...

How is that relevant - you don't get a free upgrade if you buy a new one either, so how is that similar to the Epic M situation? If you're going to post an analogy at least make it analogous.

Steve

Oh, and can you show me the bit where I said people were being "greedy"? I never said that, that was not the point of the thread at all. I also started another thread around the same time about...

That's correct - can you help answer my question? If not, I don't quite see your point?
Steve

Just wondering if the deal whereby purchasers of an Epic package totalling $50,000 or more get the upgrade free applies if you're not the original owner? I know someone selling an Epic M Collection,...

Rob +2, can't get a more perfect answer, have nothing to add at all!
Steve

Depends on lots of things - what you shoot, what lenses you have and what budget.
Ideal world I'd go for x 15mm baseplate onto an O'Connor 1030D. In my experience, for critical work, at...

Pretty please!?
Steve

Obviously no-one has the same idea!
Say you shoot 10 takes and you know the best ones are numbers 3 and 10, if you shot marked them you could skip the rest rather than having to look through them...

No-one have any idea about this?
Steve

Just wondering if there was a time limit after which the free Epic M upgrade would no longer apply? Also does it apply to someone who is not the original purchaser - ie if I buy an Epic M secondhand...
