Anybody seen this? http://www.ibe-optics.com/fast_high_speed_lenses_for_broadcast They seem to be coming out in March 2009 with a range of lenses between 10 and 180mm, all T1.8. There is some more information about a 14mm as well.

This seems to be a typical RED thing: - product announced, will be shipping next month! - we have a little problem but no worries, we ship with a slight delay! - months go by, not a word anymore...

Okay, so here's my version of EVF mount. It's a first prototype and I will certainly make another one with some adjustments. Knobs will change, there will be points to attach the RED arm and sizes will change. The final version will of course be black anodized. features: - Constantly...

Sorry to say so, but since this is the complaint department I might as well use it for that. Maybe my expectations were a bit high after all the hyping by Jim. Don't get me wrong, I admire Jim for his enthusiasm and perseverance and I am still happy with the camera, but if I could choose now I'd...

Now with build 16 I get a "off" sign on the left of the screen when I am not using the EVF rotating button control. Is there any way of getting rid of this sign?

It's 4 weeks now after Jim said they would be available in 4 weeks or so. So are they there?

Just had my charger replaced by RED after it blew up. Got a new one from RED within a week on the other side of the world! I mean, it's good that there's a complaints department but where is the compliments department?

I got my EVF last week and since we are in the middle of a feature production here in Thailand (I'll post more about that later) I didn't have much change of looking through it myself. The DOP however was reporting a strange behavior and today I saw it myself too. The thing is, whenever there...

No answer for two days already. Got accessories on order and payed for. Sent two emails asking for status update. Made clear that I am really in a hurry because starting shooting next week and... nothing.

The problem I am having is that sometimes my batteries give a fault when trying to charge them. After I put the battery in the charger the charger takes some time to decide what to do and then the red light comes up, I can hear a click in the charger and seemingly nothing happens. Detaching and...

This bug in RedCine cost me a day of frustration and work. When you import folders with the Load All function and then do another import with Load All the shots don't come after another in the timeline. If the playhead is somewhere in the middle of the timeline all your new footage gets ON TOP...

Let me begin by saying that I really like RedCine. It's snappy and it is magical to change curves and colors in realtime. But since it isn't finished my list of things that need to be done and could be done: Bugs - By far the most annoying thing is that the auto save feature is not reliable...

A quick DIY project. Works really well on the upper rod attachment where I normally don't have rods installed anyway. For the lower position I am busy with a LCD quick release hack 2 to fit on the rods :) For those who want to copy: there's an odd, two sided screw on the LCD arm that I removed...

Does anybody know if it is possible to have a calibrated HDMI or DVI monitor on the set? I am looking for a monitor that just gives a little bit more accurate impression of what is going on but don't want to spend thousands of dollars on an HDSDI monitor. And how would you calibrate it? Most...

I really wanted a Nikon mount and was tired of waiting for RED or others to manufacture one so I dissected an old Nikon slr and with help of a cheap Chinese vernier and some guessing I made a drawing for the front plate and went to a local metal workshop here in Bangkok. I must have been really...

I am getting the same problem every now and then with the charger. I put in the batteries, leave them to charge and when I come back a couple of hours later to find that nothing happened and the light of one battery is steady red. Taking it off and re-attaching the battery fixes the problem...

I am one of the people who have a dovetail and a bottom plate that don't fit. My dovetail is a machined piece and the bottom plate a cast one. They seem to fit alright but put the camera on a tripod and there is so much play that when I grab the top handle I can move it sideways about one...

I could possibly buy an old 25-250 Angenieux but it has an anamorphic adaptor at the back. My rental house expert said it is difficult to remove because it is attached to the PL mount. Anybody know anything about this? And if possible does it have to be re-calibrated?

I just got my camera 441 here in Bangkok (yeah!). Right now the camera is inside, I expect the ambient temperature to be 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), I'll buy a thermometer today to be sure. This is actually a cool day here in Thailand and the camera is getting very hot. I can put my...
