Dragon Lens Coverage Information

[Antoine Fabi]

Thanks Phil !

Quick question as I am in que for a Red Dragon package and would like to know what would a few good lenses to start with. I am a student so, so advice would be incredibly helpful. I think after the camera body+accessories from red I will have about 10k for lenses. I would like to get as many lenses as I can.

I plan to shoot shorts, indie features ( low budget) and some indie music videos.

Super interested in the new Sony's. Anyone who can test and post please do. It would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any early suggestions for a wide prime that covers all of Dragon's 6k without any issues? Something between 12mm-16mm. Looks like the Master & Ultra primes have issues, but I love their quality.

looks like its gonna have to be still full frame 24x36 lenses to cover full 6k at 12-16mm

Thanks Chad, perhaps I'll go with CP.2s for everything.

Anyone know if the Panchro/i have the same coverage as the S4/i?

Are the "mini-S4/i" just renamed Panchro/i or are there differences?

 

[Neil Dearman]

what about 17-50 RED Zoom PL lens? does that cover the 50mm part?

Id be very surprised if that Zoom didn't cover by 50mm, as that's a reasonably long focal length. Fingers crossed!

We are going to have to create a zoom test for Dragon coverage soon guys...

Anything on the new Angenieux or Fujinon zooms (regarding covering all of the 6k formats) ?

+ 1

And many many thanks, Phil, for this and all of the others good threads you share

Any info about anamorphic lens coverage ?

thanks

Thanks Alvise.

Any info about anamorphic lens coverage ?

All Super 35mm Anamorphic lenses work "as intended" on Dragon. They are well within the coverage range. If you want to experiment and use more of the sensor for crazier aspect ratios, each lens would be different.

Angenieux glass? 16-42 and 30-80DP

Do all the extenders cover dragon 6k? (I.e. 2x extenders)

I don't know if "all" of them do. But most 1.4x and 2x S35 designed should work just fine. This also includes the 1.2x device that is meant to assist with getting Academy zooms to cover Dragon full 6K. All of the teleconverters should provide similar gains in terms of the projected image of course at the cost of light loss.

 

[Troy Bakewell]

Anyone test the new Sony's yet? Very interested to know if they cover 6k.

Thanks.

Phil,
I'm looking to buy a good hand held zoom and naturally the 15-40 Optimo is at the top of the list. But what do you know about the Zeiss 15.5-45? 6K HD coverage? Optics? Weight for possible Movi use? Love to hear your expert thoughts…..
Thanks as always, love your posts.
