Here's my input on this request. Your vote, your contribution.
 
I voted yes, but I think the sub-forum should be dedicated to still lens adpators in general. Although in fact I believe Red should adopt the Birger mounts and lose their own. Only if the Birger Nikon mount accepts all Nikon lenses (well at least starting with AI) !

Cheers,
Damien
 
What about a sub-forum dedicated to all third-party accesories (Birger, Viewfactor, RedRock, etc).
 
I'm looking hard at buying the Birger mount, but see no need for sub-forum.
 
I disagree, Mr. Birger. Your thread seems chaotic. A sub forum would organize it.
 
There are only a few of us that seem to post in the Lens forum anyway. A lot of that is about the lens mounts. I don't see a need to make a second forum that gets little posting in it. So I don't think it's worthwhile or likely that Jarred will include it.

I didn't vote because there wasn't a No option, just yes and maybe.

Erik, I'd create a new thread once you have all the info available with a tonne of pics and order information and ask for that to be made a sticky. It'd be more useful than the current one which is already slightly dated since you've made some amendments I believe.
 
Guys,

I'm going to stir the waters a bit here so apologies in advance but...

I find it hard to fathom that we are on the brink, for the first time, of being provided with 'affordable' exeptionally high quality, usually disclaimers apply, digital acquisition and you are putting so much store by lenses not specifically designed to make the most of that image capture ability.

There, I've got it off my chest. I know 'horses for courses' and all that, but still, (no pun intended).

I suppose what I would have said if I was feeling more moderate is, not another new forum please.

Well, I'm voting yes but that is because I have become keen to follow the progress of this particular product.

Objectively, I think it would be more worthwhile having a sub-forum - as some have already suggested here - for all third party accessories. This would be a great playground for gadget news that could directly be applied to Red, that may or may not be lens related.

That said, the Birger stuff probably still belongs in the Lens forum, simply because the majority of that forum already discusses third party lenses etc. I would still welcome a 'third party gadget' forum to catch the stuff that might otherwise end up in the Off Topic forum.

Click to expand...

Well, then there is also the potential $10k difference between two Red lenses and a couple of Nikkon/Canon lenses and the Birger. Revolutions have to start from the grassroots.
 
So why can't I vote no? the only options are yes and maybe.

Well seen, well seen Martin... :)
 
it's like those democracies where there's a king or a queen.. ehehehe nothing personal though.. lol i love the aristocracy.. and the aristocrats :)
 
I'd vote no. Not because I'd care where it's threads are stored, but at some point you gotta put a limit on it.

Actually, I was thinking about asking Jarred for a forum that only has threads that I post in. heh heh. Chris' Forum. I would then assign Chuck Colburn to moderate it. And all of them would be stickies.

I rule.
 
Let's do 3rd Party Accessories that work. RED always said they are up for 3rd parties for Matt boxes etcs... lets at least ID all of them, let the vendors pitch to us if they want to... most are here to add products, not to compete with RED - there is plenty of work to go around.
