Ketch + Epic + Canon Mount

[KETCH ROSSi]

Hey Jarred, can we know the exact focal range of the Epic compared to a FF cam, like I have heard it's a 1.4x crop equivelent or is it just the same as a FF?
cheers

What I have calculated is about the same of the 1D vs. 1Ds, at about 1.3ish, unless I am wrong of course, which tends to happen some times... ;)

So what are the chances of having my Epic X w/canon mount by October 2nd?

That's ok was just looking for a ball park figure so i can choose my lenses for what I shoot, I was lost when a 600mm with a 2x becomes a 3400mm from a previous thread.
Thanks Ketch and Sanjin, still no official word from RED?

[Paolo Tinari]

Is the mount transmitting bluetooth?

[KETCH ROSSi]

A 600mm lens on a 1.3 crop sensor plus a 2x Extender will give you 1560mm, now you need to see what the conversion is for the 2k which I believe it was the discussion there, either way was wrong... ;)

For memory it was shot @ 4K?
Maybe a chart for 5K, 4K, 3K, 2K would help the dumb shooters like me?

I may have missed the answer to this....BUT, is there any way to change IRIS physically....or only via touchscreen and redmote? IS there ANYWAY to build into the UP SOON Nikon Smart mount a physical Iris gear as on the current OPtiTek mount AND have the smart mount capability???? For some....shooting say in an underwater housing.....the need to have a physical gear for iris control is crucial.

Johnny, Canon "L" series lenses even so you can switch form Manual to Auto Focus, do not have a ring to let you change IRIS, so it needs to be done in camera, here now you can do it on the LCD, the Side handle, the REDMOTE... ;)

REDMOTE PRO has just undergone a complete redesign, it's still a bit out.

I know some might hate me for saying this, but I am very happy to hear about this delay. It clearly states RED's understanding that this can be an other game-changer, that RED will not compromise at all. This is one of the accessories I am most excited about considering the possibilities and RED's price-point. I want one for our Epic! Of course the awesomeness needs to be shared with the smart mounts themselves. Much more than AF, what excites me is no-compromise wireless MANUAL focus! So few know what top-shelf still AF lens motors can do...

Side note: I wonder how long the battery will last on the Redmote Pro, and if the RMP might be designed with swappable batteries. Maybe they take a RedVolt!

Yes, i knew the L series is like the NIkon G lenses....and hoping that the NIKON smart mount by RED will have physical control over iris like the OptiTek EPIC Nikon mount currently does AND have electrical connections for lens data etc.....That's what i was getting at really....yes, i don't see a moving iris ring on the RED cannon smart mount. Would REALLY be a double winner in my opinion to have that on the upcoming Nikon smart mount.
