RED FOCUS

[ericyoung]

Focus is still out a bit.. the (optional) software that goes along with it is still being fine tuned.

Canon and Nikon mounts will not be offered at first.

Thanks for the extra trickle of information, Jarred. Can make a decision now!

Software does sound interesting.

with the RED Focus be available with adaptors for Canon & Nikon so we can go from PL Cinema lenses to Stills lenses and know back focus has been setup correctly?

From Jarred's post they will be, but not initially!

So - any news on the RED Focus?

[Shane Betts]

Or a better idea of what the software does? We already have an Optimator (it's great and Jacek's support is fantastic) but I'm keen to know what this thing does. At the price it could be something we buy anyway.

When is the Red Focus available ? Lim

Ooooh... I like the idea of the software if it does what I think it might.

If you have a single lens that might be off, perhaps you can bring up the pre-saved lens data (from your camera prep). You'll be able reset the flange distance just for that lens (or lenses). That would be a nice, in the field fix.

I made a simple sticker that does that- no need for software development.

A little perspective here- Let Red concentrate on what they do best-high quality image aquisition

Red Team,
Since your Sensor will be adjustable (multiple axis) does your RED FOCUS have the ability to read the edges and help if the sensor is out of alignment?
Many people are anxiously awaiting this device.
Can it be used for Phantom and other Digital Cameras Genesis/D21/Alexa etc?
Can you give any other hints regarding the "software"?
Thanks,
Woody

Jarred,
Any further info? I am in the market for a collimator and would like to know what exactly RED is offering and a time frame on delivery. Software capabilities sound interesting and wondering if you could be a little more specific.
Thanks in advance,
Woody
