    GL optics 18-35 vs Contax Zeiss 21mm f/2.8 and 35mm f/1.4 mmj

    Okay, so the quest has begun for a contax zeiss super speed set. However, as I was looking through the prices to budget out what I'd need, I noticed the 21mm f/2.8 is around $2k and 35mm f/1.4 $1500 at various vendors. It made me start thinking, why not have the sigma to replace the 21mm and...

    Parfocal f'ed up?

    When a lens doesn't hold focus through the zoom for a parfocal cine lens, is there any obvious thing that could cause it (e.g. needs collimation)? I tested another copy of the same lens on the same camera and the other one held focus fine throughout the zoom range. Currently not able to send to...

    Canon L to Contax Zeiss MM? Help!

    After doing some research on Contax Zeiss MM lenses I'm thinking about making the switch from Canon L primes to the Contax Zeiss primes (speeds), mostly to cinemod the lenses ala Duclos so whoever is pulling focus has a fighting chance when using a FF w/ marks, and also to have a manual iris...

    19mm rods - differences?

    Aside from the quality of material use to make 19mm aluminum rods (the only thing I can think of is resistance to flexing) - is there anything else to consider? For example some companies charge $70-100 for a single rod, whereas some of the Chinese/Indian brands are as low as $25. Why would I...

    Exposing + Native ISO

    Hi all, As I'm preparing for the upgrade, I'm wondering about the exposure and ISO settings. I'm not sure how many of you in your early days of shooting Red have experienced shooting lower ISOs (320) in daylight and not being able to bring back much, if any, of the highlights if they were...

    Compression Woes

    Trying to get a video to look decent on youtube's 360p. I've read through several threads and tried various things...on HD on YouTube it looks pretty good, close to the rendered file.

    Shorten cable for AB QRC-Epic Plate

    UPDATE: I talked to Ryan over at WC where I bought the unit, and he said they could cut/solder the cable, but obviously voids the warranty for the unit. Any suggestions based on this?

    ridiculous monitor mounting

    After owning a scarlet for a little while I finally picked up a Red sliding top handle. I've seen photos of people mounting the 5" red monitor on top of the handle. There's only one mounting hole, so it keeps swiveling around when I'm using the touch screen and/or adjusting the swivel on the...
