Do they cover FF35 in PL mount. Im guessing if the glass was from the R Stills lenses then they would work well with FF35 Epic ?

This question would be great to be answered. I puzzled over this as knew somebody selling a set. If they do cover FF35 they become very interesting and rather special.

I don't think it can just be assumed as it makes sense in the conversion to mask of some of the much larger imaging circle to stop all that light bouncing around.

You won't regret buying these.
I've never tried it, but they are supposed to cover FF35.

[Robert Horwell]

We have these lenses in Rental. Yes, they cover FF35.

Actually they are re-housed Leica R lenses and because of that all of them cover FF35 for sure.

Some of the examples shot on RED1:

Microphone Rode NTG-3 shot on RED1 with Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4

Belvedere Palace (Schloss Belvedere) Vienna: Shot on RED1 with Leica Elmarit-R 24mm f/2.8

By FF35n do you mean VistaVision (eight perf horizontal)? Always a favorite format of mine.

Sorry the 'n' was a typo, i mean full frame as in moviecam super america. 4 perf. But these lenses will still cover a frame format of 36mm X 24mm.

 

[Mitch Gross]

To be crystal clear, these lenses will cover a VistaVision, stills frame 35mm image area of 36mm x 24mm.
