  • 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 :)

PL Mount 11-16mm f2.8 Prototype, Manual Iris

Anodizing is complete and final touches are being put on the initial lens.
We are expecting to have a completed working model by NAB that myself and Matt Uhry can walk around with and show.
For those of you who can't make it to NAB, I should have some pics posted here very soon.

Not really sure. Im just going to NAB to check out the cool new stuff (and put a few miles on the new ride)..
Either Matt Uhry or myself will be wandering around with it. Any suggestions on a meeting place?
 
Hey Matt-
This mod sounds wonderful, but I was wondering if there is any chance you'd also consider doing a version with all the mods (front element, gear, iris) except for the PL mount for those of us who are going to using a Nikon mount on our camera. I would also assume this would make the finished lens considerably less expensive. Let me know if that would be a potential possibility. Thanks.
Peace,

-Harry

Unfortunately installing the manual aperture control requires deletion of the Nikon mount. If you're using the Nikon mount on your RED I would suggest the Underdahl mount modification. We already offer our standard Cine-mod that provides zoom/focus gears and an 80mm front. Seems like this would suit your needs quite well.
 
A little update... We decided to look into the Canon mount version of the Tokina 11-16mm as an alternative to the Nikon mount. The main reason for this is the focus scale travels in the "proper" direction. So focus pullers will be a little more pleased.

SJ, I saw the results of your lens on your Red and it looks great, but these guys are looking for a PL solution.

Side note, does your adapter pancake make the FOV smaller?
 
Sanjin,

What is the point of your spamming IMS stuff all over the place? I think everyone in the Reduser world is well aware of your love for the IMS and Leica optics. I'm sure the system works well and I'm sure all these adapters work flawlessly, but most of use need production ready, standardized systems. Your posts do nothing to help the dialog and eat bandwidth.

This is excellent news, hope its work out!!
 
Mike,

sorry for disturbing you but it was just to show that exists also another option with all still lens for moving images cons...

Nothing more than that...

Can you make it to the Reduser party Wednesday at the RIO?

You may be able to get the lens on a RED !

How does the canon 10-22 stack up on red?
I like the fact that is has a better zoom range and goes to 10mm.
Of course its slower 3.5-4.5 so there's a trade off...

I will be at the REDUSER gathering at the Rio.
I should have the lens with me still. It's up to the guys at RED or someone with a RED to put the lens up. I'm chromatically challenged :cool: .
 
interested...
 
A few Updates -

I'm working NAB week and Planning to take the Nikon based ( focus wrong way ) version with me to YVR on a toy shoot. I should have a chance to put it through it's paces...

Matthew Duclos will have the Canon based version ( focus Cine way ) with him at NAB. We'll figure out a few times and places where you can meet with him and play around with the lens.

If you're in LA you can check out one of the prototypes or ever better put it on rental on your next job !

Once it's spec's and price are finalized we'll take deposits and do the first batch. Paul "Dr. Lens" Duclos told me the machine shops are slow these days due to the recession and will be able to atypically deliver on time !
