IMS Installed Finally!!!

How well do the adapters work? I have seen some good PL adapters and some that were less impressive.

P&S are the best arri techs outside of arri. They make the BL4 Evolution, Upgrade SRs from 1 to 2.9, their stuff is as good as it gets. Period. No body makes better quality stuff, the technology doesn't exist.

Cheers,

Nick

On the P+S Technik website they say you no longer need to cut the i-cable.

I think Jarred said somewhere that any removal of backfocus portion was also a problem.

Thanks,

Didn't he volunteer his Red as the P+S guinea pig? I would hope they gave it to Sanjin for free as thanks.

Noctilux 50mm 1.0 test please! =)

I got quoted around the $2k mark for the mount plus 3 or 4 adapters.

All in all, pretty fair!

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing lots of lenses.

Any possibility of using the Canon EF lens or is Birger still the only mount to have iris control for Canon ?

No, the Canon EF mount is dumb on the IMS, but check out Alesniak's prototype Canon EF smart mount.

Birger still has the edge with the hopefully forthcoming control knobs and bluetooth remotes though.

"If needed the IMS can also be re-exchanged to the original RED One mount" - P+S Technik website

I don't see why it should void any warranty if this is the case. Though it'd be useful to hear it from the horses mouth.

My RED life with IMS is beautiful!!!

Here some pics about to store i/cable during IMS installation.

Birger is a nice idea but everybody here should know that still zoom lens doesn't handle a focus during zoom like a cine lens.

But all of still zooms can be used as a variable primes only.

I'm just asking myself is it making any sense to work with EF or DX still zooms as zoom lenses and better you can stay with Canon L, Sigma's and Nikkor manual primes.

There are a lot of excellent and very fast manual still lenses from diverse brands that can be swapped on RED with IMS.

If you need a professional zoom that get PL cine zooms.
