  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Wider Red Part II - Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6?

I wonder if they would handle just the conversion to PL for my existing lens without selling me an already converted unit...

Jim. From what I have read the Peleng has a universal mount and then an adapter fixed with 3 screws which matches it to any particular mount. So maybe it is possible to just purchase the PL adapter which you could mount yourself. here is another link to another company which sells a PL adapted Peleng:

they have a useful format chart down the page which shows how the image crops for s35; standard 35; s16 etc.

Thanks Martin... it does indeed have a universal mount, but I've not been very impressed with the flange depth precision (at least with the provided Nikon mount adaptor). Bluntly put, they missed by a mile. :)

Anyway, it's a good chunk of glass and I sure appreciate the links... I'm sure I'll work something out with it.

Regards,
 
David, I believe a lot of us we'll be with the same option than you. And thanks Evin for your info on breathing about the Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8 -- quite hopeful!

Ouch ... this looks expensive (but nice). Anybody know what these things cost ??? Can they be hired somewhere in the UK ???

They cost more than the RED ONE. They generally rent between $300-500/day here, depending on the nature of the project. I'm very excited to see the results when somebody mates one of these with a RED ONE.
 
Please, move it for the right sub-forum (lenses tests). Thanks.

Done.

On the subject, though, I called Clairmont today to see what renting an 8R costs... $350/day with $26,000 insurance. They wouldn't let me talk them below $280/day as a student - unfortunate considering I can usually get rental houses to start at ~50% and work down from there with a smile on their faces. The guy on the phone wasn't making any friends...

But there's the answer. $26,000 for the lens or $350/day in L.A.

I think the rear element may be too close to the sensor to get good telecentricity to the light rays. That means they will hit the sensor at progressively oblique angles as they move to the corners and cause severe vingetting. But you would really need to test it to know for sure.

May some of this info put any light on this?

I'm sticking to the Nikkor 17-35/2.8 until I find something at a sensible price point to get me nearer the 90 degree FOV (underwater requirement like CamDiver).

Would any of you not consider the red zoom, at 15mm it is probably the widest angle that still manages to provide a realistic wide angle without the price shooting up massively.

Does the weight of any cine prime below 15mm not also start to get heavier as you say go from 15mm to say 13mm, as well as technically challanging!

I know the red zoom will not be ready until later in the year but surely underwater housings require the right long term solutions rather than say a cheap temporary alternative such as an SLR lens? Just asking really:innocent:

CARL ZEISS "Wide Angle Front Lens Mutar T*" 0.6x "Aspheron"

CARL ZEISS "Wide Angle Front Lens Mutar T*" 0.6x "Aspheron"

Now this could be the best wide option lens for the RED ONE. With 2K RAW shooting to max 120 fps. Do it with a popular and cheap pro super 16mm lens: Carl Zeiss 10-100 f/2.8 T*2 with CARL ZEISS "Wide Angle Front Lens Mutar T*" 0.6x "Aspheron" for Vario-Sonnar zoom 10-100 T2. It converts your zoom to a 6.0mm prime. Have a look and read at the link below the picture:
