Can Raptor save multiple black shade calibrations like DSMC2?

Hey all, I’ve reached out to a few of the usual suspects with a general inquiry email about rehousing my late 90s Leica R Summilux set, but I haven’t heard back from any of them. I’m assuming they’re all pretty backed up, but does anybody have any leads? I’m not in any particular rush to get...

Hey all, By my research, ProRes seems to be the winner when it comes to quality vs compression. But of course H264 is the winner in terms of supported codecs, simply because it’s been around so long and offers decent quality per compression (I think). Is H265 poised to replace H264? Or do you...

Does anybody know of any alternatives to Kippertie’s locking RF to EF adapter, the Adapta or Revolva? They’re both back ordered by about 8 weeks.

RCX's "Film Look" is such a good looking emulation. I haven't found anything that comes close with just one click. Resolve film grain doesn't look as good to my eye, and Dehancer is a bit heavy-handed. I wish we could get the RCX Film Look as a plugin for Davinci, that way you wouldn't have to...

Thought it might be fun to get a thread going of all the “weird” or surprisingly good lenses you’ve used so far on your Raptor. I considered opening this up to all Red owners, but leaving it here for now since a lot of weird SLR lenses for example cover 7K full frame. Best case scenario, this...

NYC / NJ local pickup only, please SmallHD Indie 7 monitor, $850. Used on one live shoot, then my DSMC3 Touch arrived, forgot to return this to B&H in time. My loss is your gain!

Say you’re shooting parts of the day at 24,48, 72, and 96fps (with shutter consistently at 180, in this example), and you only want to black-shade at the start of the day. Is there any benefit to black-shading at the highest framerate you’ll be shooting? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle, like...

Selling two Zeiss Otus ZF lenses, the 28mm f/1.4 and 55mm f/1.4 Both have Duclos Canon EF mounts, declicked irises, and the Zeiss branded focus gears. Glass is in pristine condition. Lens housings are in excellent condition with barely any wear and tear. Looks like the prior owner cut off a...

Hey all, Has anybody had success with fitting a custom focus gear to Leica M photo lenses? That finger adjustment knob looks like it'd be a problem. Thanks!

I don't think they'll be releasing 8K content anytime soon, but I also certainly didn't expect to see this article so soon. Could be nothing. Could be something. Caught my eye either way. What do y'all think?

Hey folks, I feel like I'm always struggling to fit all my gear into the cases I do own, so it's probably about time I expand and get a few more. I don't care how banged up they are as long as they still close. So if you've got some old cases you're looking to unload, let me know! Merry Merry...

Hey folks, I plan on reaching out to Red Support in the morning about this, but since it's just after hours, might as well see if anybody has any clues (of if anybody's noticed the same thing). I'm hearing a distinct quiet clicking sound coming from the fan area. I timed it, and it happens...

What's the over-under on Vitec releasing a Teradek Bolt 500 TX module for DSMC3, in the vein of their direct-mount DSMC2 module? Perhaps just a V-Mount TX with a short tethered SDI, since there isn't a DSMC2 type pin connection on the back of DSMC3? Definitely not a "critical" third party...

Why does the in-body downsampled ProRes 4K look SO much cleaner than the footage I capture at 8K then downscale to 4K in post? Does the in-body ProRes add noise reduction or something? Or am I doing something wrong with scaling in Davinci? Either way, super exciting how great the ProRes footage...

An adapter to use GFX lenses on an RF mount doesn't currently exist, as far as I'm aware. However, Fuji makes some REALLY nice medium format glass that would definitely cover a Monstro and Raptor sensor. Would it even be possible to adapt? Fuji GFX flange distance is 26.7mm, Canon RF is 20mm...

Hey all, I'm shooting a music video tomorrow, and the director added a shot with practical blood splatter effects. Unfortunately I was about an hour too late to pick up a clear filter from B&H, so I'm considering other options to protect the front of the lens. Is shooting through clean Plexi an...

How much of a performance boost do you see using multiple graphics cards? Does it truly double your available VRAM, and more importantly, does Davinci properly utilize it? I currently get perfectly smooth playback of RED raw, until I introduce a NR node (which is to be expected). I've been...

Since the Raptor and Komodo share the new EXT port, I tried using SmallHD Camera Control on my Cine 7 and V-Raptor. Got an error message along the lines of "camera is not currently supported" which was a slight bummer but sounds promising in regards to future support. I'm sure they'll try to...
