Looking to buy a 75mm Leitz Summicron-C in excellent mechanical and optical condition. Please PM or email with availability and price. Thank you. Stephen NEVER2LATEstudios@yahoo.com

Hi there all. . . I'm very glad to see REDUser back in operation again. . . and just in time for me. I have an opportunity to buy three mint Leitz Summicron-C lenses for $10K. I'm tempted, but my question is this: I'm currently shooting on Komodo/Komodo-X, but wonder if buying S35 lenses...

Okay. . . I've been recommended not to do this, but I've carefully considered all my options and limitations and think this is probably the right way to go. (It is possible I'll come to regret the decision at some point, but given my advanced age. . . almost 69!. . . if it's going to happen...

Hi all. . . I have ZERO interest in off-speed shooting. I'm 23.976 filmmaker. I also have no interest in 8K finishes. Again, I'm strictly a 3840p sort of guy. Given those parameters, what, other than field of view differences and maybe half a stop of range, am I likely to experience buying...

RED Komodo X – Excellent Condition | Includes Cage, RF-PL Mount Selling my RED Komodo X cinema camera in excellent condition. Looking for $5000 The camera has only about 40 hours of runtime and has been carefully used on a few projects. Always handled with care, works flawlessly, and looks close...

Here you go all! Advancing age and encroaching infirmity (I'm now 68 and with a bad shoulder and knees!) means I'm out of the heavy-duty camera gear business. This incredible READYRIG Vega system has rarely been used. We only make feature films, and only a few shots in each film use...

Hi all. . . I'm not sure where to put this, so I thought maybe I should start here. In my next indie feature, we need a shot of an actress inside a junker car driving it straight into a lake at night. (She drowns, of course, but we won't see that.) I'm actually looking for three shots: 1...

Somehow, someone in their wisdom declined to give us a 0 gain setting! The closest to 0 gain we have is +1 and -2. I mean, how hard would it have been to put the standard 0 db gain setting in there? Come on, RED, you can do better than that!

Hi all. . . I posted this on a FB forum, but never got a single response, which actually surprised me quite a bit, so I thought I'd try here. According to the manual, the Komodo-X appears to have three choices for face detection: First face, last face, and pause if no faces. In looking at...

Hi all. . . One of our two OGKs is no longer transmitting a video image to RED Control. All camera data is transmitting just fine, and video box has RED in the middle, but no picture is transmitted. The other camera works as always. Both cameras are the latest firmware, and I also am working...

Hi there. . . I have an oil-based hazer by American DJ that provides a truly wonderful and very long-lasting (hours) haze effect. Unfortunately, it seems that most folks have moved away from oil-based hazer fluids to water-based options. Unfortunately, I have yet to see a water-based option...

Hi all. . . This camera was the B-cam on our latest feature film ("State of Grace"; it was just released on Amazon and is a deeply moving film, by the way). I had intended to keep it, but our next feature shoot has been delayed to Summer 2025 (we only make features), so I feel it would be...

. . . how is it that, in life, we aren't bothered by light color differences (our brains quickly adjusting to the different white balances), but when watching a film our brains don't seem to make the same adjustments. Similarly, we go into a noisy location and our minds immediately filter out...

I could use some recommedations: Our next feature film deals with a photographer and so I'm looking for narrative films that show photographers at work, specifically in how they move from what the photographer sees through his lens before he clicks the shutter to the resulting image in the next...

Hi all. . . I'm much more of a filmmaker than a DP, but I am very proud of the work we did in making our latest feature film, "State of Grace," which will have its World Premiere at the Chinese Theater in LA as part of the Dances with Films film festival this coming Wednesday night (June 28th)...

Here you go. . . I'm forced to sell my beloved Kippertie Revolva RF/EF mount for my B-camera Komodo (which I am also separately selling). No issues at all. Has the S cartridge (clear/0.6/1.2/2.1). Includes the chin strap, as well. $1300 with free shipping to Continental US. It's in mint...

Hi all. . . I just finished shooting my latest feature film using two Komodos, and now I'm forced to sell the B-camera (174 hours) in 9.9 out of 10 condition to help pay for our publicist. This thing never once failed us. It's in truly superb condition without any operational issues...

We are sort of feeling neglected at the moment. Stephen

Hi all. . . I'm curious if anyone has tried the Canon 35mm f/1.4L II lens and can comment on its breathing characteristics. I own the Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 but find its breathing makes it essentially unusable. Thanks much! Stephen

I did some tests with my Komodo and definitely saw some IR pollution on polyester even using a hot mirror ND filter. I saw the Kolari H-alpha IR cut filter and wondered if it might be useful. I am using 82mm round filters most of the time and hoping to stay that way going forward. Thanks...
