… you probably want some of these: http://www.istorage-uk.com/diskashur.php Not sure if they've been mentioned before; new to me, and intriguing. Mike

My beloved and rare Cooke 25-250mm is reluctantly up for sale. This is not your average Cooke 10x, Mk1, Mk2, or Mk3. This is very different, it's the one marked 'Super Cine Varotal' with a huge concave front element. Known for being first used in FX shots on the original 'Superman'. I'll get...

We sometimes have a reputation for being a bunch of RED fanboys, and it's sometimes deserved! I think it's past time for a thread to summarise *constructive* criticism and product suggestions. There are a lot of cameras out there now, and a lot of experience; what are your gripes? This thread...

Have a look at these RCX screen grabs. Especially the HDRx settings... I've seen weird glitches on the LCD before, this is first time I've seen a glitch in the R3D too. I *think* I have an idea how I did it... I think I provoked a bug or misbehaviour by hitting record too fast, whilst the...

OK, 34.5mm image circle for Dragon 6K. What are folks thinking about using for glass? Do you think you'll be shooting more at 5K? And, RED guys, do we have a confirmation of the image circle needed for 5K on Dragon? Is it the same as 5K on Epic MX? Mike

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of RPPs. The only thing that would change my mind is a half-decent set of super speeds in the same price ballpark. Not too likely, but you never know. If you have any you want to do a deal on, now is the time... not tomorrow. Mike

Not often a gear theft makes the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21944523 Mike

Just got email about firmware upgrade for 512GB SSD. Says the SSD has to be sent into RED for the upgrade?? What's the deal with that? It should be possible to to apply an upgrade in the field... Mike

Happy New Year from Wellington! When I first started posting in these forums people remarked on my 'other' job... I seem to recall requests to put a RED in a fire truck. Well it's still at the stage of raw ungraded footage, but shortly before I left the USA, I went one better and put my EPIC...

Hope you all had a great holiday! Question: I know the Master Zoom is supposed to cut perfectly with MPs; the basic color rendition should be as close to identical as makes no difference. But does the MZ equal the MPs quality in all other respects (except, obviously, speed)? Is it as...

As I build out bigger rigs for various jobs, I'm faced with the issue of how to power everything. On an 'all bells & whistles' rig, I'll end up powering: - SmallHD monitor - Preston Microforce - Wireless FF - Teradek This is resulting in new challenges for a guy whose inclination and...

I'm negotiating to buy a lens from a seller on this site... have a look at the FAQ, anything strike you as peculiar...? http://www.bblist.co.uk/index.php?p=53 How about... "Can I visit to inspect the item before purchasing? You will still be required to deposit payment with us under Escrow...

... Just how much *junk* I have to lug around just to get the right photons onto a sliver of dirty silicon weighing less than an ounce. Mike, at the airport

I don't keep a close eye on lower-end developments so perhaps someone can bring me up to speed. The mirrorless MFT concept is interesting, and I've been intrigued by what's been done with cameras such as the GH2. In particular, I'm impressed with the range of mounts available - everything from...

Anyone got any medium to large size Pelican cases they would like to dispose of in NYC area, drop me an email please: eruptionchaser at gmail dawt com Don't care about what foam is or isn't in them. Thanks Mike

I know some airlines have media baggage rates; I've used them before. Usually a flat $50 or so per bag, without a bunch of restrictive rules. Anyone know of an airline offering this on a route between USA and New Zealand? I've got a big load of stuff to move there... Mike

http://blog.abelcine.com/2012/09/27/aaton-unveils-the-delta-penelope-camera/ Some interesting ideas there; hadn't heard about this one. Mike

So my EPIC is hooked to a Cube 120 via SDI. I have proxy recording and NFS etc. set up on my Macbook, and it works fine. I hit 'record', a proxy appears on my NFS drive and it plays. Great. Amazing! But no sound on proxies. Silent. R3Ds record sound perfectly. So where to start? - Does EPIC...

Folks, I have a Bomb and a spinner mount. Very nice, works nicely with the Clutch. So many adjustments you almost have TOO many possibilities when it comes to setting things up. But how about if I want to go ultra light and ultra compact? Mount the EVF directly to the top of the camera, attach...

Looking for some information on these lenses. Did the Leonetti rehousing add anything significant to the Zeiss original housing? Better scales, longer focus throw? Any particular problems getting them serviced? BNCR mount... easy to convert to hard PL mount? I know you can get adapters and...
