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 :)
I had a helluva time trying to find a PL mount whose support was compatible with the center-post style lens mount support of my Mid49 arca-style baseplate. The metabones plain PL to RF adapter's support foot is about 1mm too tall and keeps the camera plate from sitting flush. I ended up getting...
In case anyone like myself comes along and finds this thread, I figure I should add some unofficial information I've uncovered as I've purchased 5 of these lenses from a variety of locations.
I believe there's an unofficial Mk3 build of the Standard Speeds, similar to how there was a Mk3 Super...
I notice a tiny bit of slop/wiggle before engaging the lock, between my Meike Locking EF to R adapter. Once I remember there's an RF lock the tiny bit of wiggles immediately disappears.
Thanks to everyone who has messaged! I've really lucked out with several of you helping me get a set together. Really appreciate the hook ups. I now have the 16, 32, 50, and 85.
I have JUST ONE LENS LEFT on the WTB list: the 24mm. If you have a 24mm in really good shape let me know please!
To close the loop on this...
Spoke to folks at Mutiny and there's too much amperage draw for power bricks and cables to not melt or run into issues. Also the KX lacks the appropriate circuitry to request the PD protocol for power from the USBC PD brick, so it wouldn't get an ample amount of...
Greetings! I'm looking to build a set of Standard Speeds. There's a couple of single lenses locally (a 32 and an 85) that are in great shape and cheap (relatively) but I haven't bought them yet to give myself some flexibility if a good 4 or 5 lens set is available. So yeah, here's specifically...
Updates: contacted RED who pretty straight away killed any ideas I might have by saying that use of an unapproved power supply or product would potentially fry my camera and void the warranty. He also pointed me towards the pin-out diagram on the connector though which is really a mixed signal...
Haven't found any solutions, sadly. It could be as simple as just finding or ordering a custom RED DC to USB-C cable and giving it a try with, say, a 65W USB-C PD charger. But I'm a little hesitant to possibly fry my camera? Seems like the risks associated with getting it wrong with a power...
Are there any small/light options for an AC adapter on the X that’s more akin to either the Komodo OG’s small brick, or say a MacBook Pro AC adapter?
The adapter it ships with is 135W and gigantic. Are all those watts really necessary if the DC battery is providing 45W? Can the OG AC adapter...
I just went thru the painful (well, expensive), process of switching all my v-lock batteries to USB-PD chargeable versions (no more bulky chargers! whoo!!!). The IDX Micro series batteries have a D-tap and a USB on the top and communicate with the K-X full % and voltage info unlike the...
I've been using a Wooden Camera Zip Box Pro for a few years. Ironically, it was the smaller lighter replacement to my original Letus35 Hurlbut matte box many years ago, but when I picked up a Komodo-X last week it seemed huge dangled off the front of my 80mm diameter DZO Vespids. After a ton of...
