  • 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 :)

    Advice needed: MacBook Pro 15" or 17"

    Which MacBook Pro would you recommend - the new 15" version or the elder 17" one? The price is about the same. The 2.8 15" has the advantage of faster graphics, faster bus speed and a more rigid housing. Drawback is the shiny screen. The 2.6 17" has 1920x1200 resolution - which might be nice...

    (Rant warning) Lens mounts: anyone there?

    Awfully quiet here. I hate being able to only use some Nikon lenses I had to dug up last minute, when I have such a lovely set of Zeiss T* coated Contax lenses gathering dust. Can someone please either make IMS a reality, or get the Canon mount delivered. I do not need any fancy electronics in...

    FS: ARRI MB-14 6X6 swing away mattebox + case

    Sold - thanks I recently bought this matte box from a fellow Reduser, but it is simply too big for what we do. Great for impressing clients, makes the DP happy, and awesome Arri build quality. 3 filter trays make for a wide range of uses. They can all be rotated together. The swing away system...

    Saving 90% on ink printing costs

    While our wax printer was away for repair, I bought a cheap Canon MP610 ink printer. Turns out, it also prints on DVDs, and better than our outrageously expensive Bravo II dedicated DVD printer. A friend told me I could save buckets by getting a so-called CISS system, continuous ink supply...

    Need bridge Nikon zoom advice

    Looks like our Red will arrive before any of the Canon mounts are shipping, which again means that I won't be able yet to use the lovely Contax lenses that await our camera, which again means I have to get one Nikon lens (or Tamron, or Sigma, or you-name-it) to bridge the time. Basically I need...

    Finally: a proper search function for reduser.net

    Heheh... as any avid user of reduser will know, the search function is, well, sub-optimal. (For fun, try a search for "red" - you'll be surprised!) Luckily the equivalent of build 16 in search terms is available via a customized google search on...

    Alternative mount overview

    To save you reading through all the various threads, here is a short summary of the different mount systems available/in the works for the RED One. Generally speaking there are 2 types of mount, electronic (aka "smart") and basic (aka "dumb") mounts. The electronic ones will let you control...

    17" MacBook Pro 2.6ghz, 4gb, hires matte for $2300. New

    If you are like me disappointed by the 'new' 17" offering from Apple, have a look at this offer, where they sell brand-new upgraded 17" for 2300 USD. Shipping to the U.S. only - but there are companies that offer to forward packages to your foreign address for a little fee. Might be well worth...

    Fletch has a nice list comparing pretty much all the digital professional camera offerings. Never seen it so clearly why RED really is rocking the Camera world.

    Mount adaptors - which ones?

    So... with IMS currently not being an option, the only other way to get a variety of still lenses on one's beloved One, is to get a Birger Canon mount (next week is supposed to see a huge bunch of them leaving Birger HQ) and then a third-party adapter. Now, rummaging through eBay, I see that...

    Mount options

    October will see up to 900 new RED one cameras on the market. PL mount lenses will be out of reach for many of those. Birger will not have caught up on its backorders by then, only a handful have been shipped so far. So am I right that the only non-warranty voiding alternative mount option...

    (for those not furiously following the Birger thread:) The Biger mount is shipping!

    …and hell still is warm... The first non-beta-test units of the famous Birger Canon mount are now actually shipping. A number of Red owners have now received their tracking number. :sorcerer::shiftyph34r:! EDIT: Between September and December of 2008 only a handful of mounts did get...

    Pentax lenses on Red?

    I have a nice Pentax K-10D camera, which uses the Pentax PK mount. Is it possible to use these lenses on the Red? IMS does not offer a direct Pentax adaptor, but are there third party products available that could turn the Pentax into, say, a Canon mount? (possible eBay link) Thanks for any...

    IMS, baby

    If I had only one wish for the ****, it would be: IMSWould give the consumer a huge choice of lenses, while making the switch as painless as possible. And RED would sell more of them, as noone would be locked in by their previous lens system. If I had some more wishes, they would be: Several...

    Contax Lenses for RED / Recommendations

    Would love to hear some input about these Carl Zeiss Contax/Yashica mount lenses, which I found while raiding my father's old lens collection: Tessar 45/2.8 Planar 50/1.4 Planar 50/1.7 Sonnar 135/2.8 Tele-Tesar 200/3.5 Vario-Sonnar 80-200/4 Vario-Sonnar 40-80/3.5I found some reviews on...
