Yeah, they should create those wavy lines that connote staleness for a thread after it has been up for a week or so. That way, we would know to check the posting date even as we read the thread title. I've been fooled a number of times by reading the title and forgetting to check the date posted.

LOL.. same here

Mike, We just need one in NYC.. just one and we can share (lol)
 
Me too.
Hope someone from RED can chime in to reassure the given date (early August).
I try to plan two productions in september.... need the Nikkors.
Patiently waiting is sometimes difficult..
 
Count me in as one of the people waiting and hoping for an early August release. Very much looking forward to using my Nikkor glass for fast shoots.
 
Hey guys, I know August just started but I am ordering a Scarlet and my partner only owns Nikon glass so whenever you guys are ready I am more then happy to put some money down now, would love to do a deposit. Thanks
 
Sweet, thanks for the info!
 
Woots! This will be a good early birthday present (for myself :) I don't own a Scarlet or Epic but I have a set of Nikon G primes and the 14 - 24, so having the ability to rent a body and bring my own glass and mount is appealing. Obviously still glass has mechanical limitations and is only appropriate for certain styles of shooting, but optically I've fallen in love with this glass. I also have a set of Nikkor manual primes (as I'm sure many do) so I'm really excited for this possibility as well. I love the look of old "imperfect" glass dirtying up the Epic's beautiful, crisp RAW files.

One thing I'm wondering about: with how light most still glass is, how necessary is the Ti mount? I understand it limits back focus shifting in extreme temperature variation etc but how often is back focus important when not using proper PL cine glass? I guess I mean that with still glass you'll probably be focus pulling off the monitor anyways... Thoughts?
 
If you want to be able to put on one of Nikon's larger telephoto lenses without support, then you'll probably want to shell out for the Ti. Otherwise, I don't see much of a need for it.
