17-50mm V2

[Brent J. Craig]

... Optically they are identical to the first version...

Does that mean that the focus at 32mm is quite a bit different from the focus at 17 or 50mm, like the original?

This is great news for me and this will help not having to change the rubber or ring around the MB all the time to change a lens.
thank you RED Boyzzzz

 

[Jarred Land]

Perfect! Thanks Jarred. A perfect compliment to my Epic!

One last question. Does the hood have an internal thread that can take a screw in filter? And if so, what diameter?

M

yes, 67mm filters fit on the front element.

 

[Shane Kelly]

yes, 67mm filters fit on the front element.

Red. Com still has 138mm as inside front ring specs. What is it now? Or are there no threads there?

 

[Jarred Land]

Sorry... that info is obviously wrong. No threads on the inside of the hood.

 

[Mark Pedersen]

Sorry... that info is obviously wrong. No threads on the inside of the hood.

OK. But there are 67mm threads on the front element (same place the lens cap goes) right?

Bottom line, I just want to be able to protect the front element in situations where I wouldn't be using a mattebox.

yup.. you can use 67mm filters or a 67mm lens cap ( it will ship with one for now ) .. or if you want a 114mm lens cap that will ship with it when it is ready.

OK. So the 114mm lens cap slips over the exterior diameter of the hood, right? A clip-on mattebox adapter ring would be 114mm as well.

I like the idea of the 114mm lens cap so it keeps the entire hood interior clean and protected.

She's a beauty. Fly saucer, hilarious!

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Ouch, just bought one last week...

We'll talk to Bomb Squad see if we can get it swapped...

Love the new Look... Great work guys!!

 

[Sven Seynaeve]

yihaaaaaa, exactly what we need


thx a lot for these Red

 

[Ryan Hamblin]

seems like the 138mm or 143mm to 114 bellows back for the MMB-1/MMB-20II are no where to be found... what to do what to do...

 

[Richard ndumu]

cool

 

[Robert Horwell]

Looks great. Will UK owners be able to send the lens to Pinewood for the new hood?

Yes please. Pinewood?

 

[Nils J. Nesse]

Is anyone using a 67mm Variable ND (Fader ND) with this lens? (V1 or 2)
Could be a good solution for one man band-work.
Or is it too clumsy when you want to adjust that small filter inside the hood?

 

[David J Bernstein]

Don't suppose you could shave off a T-stop while you're at it?

are you meaning to turn the mb20 into a clip on? you need to get the MB-20 clip on adapter then use the ring inside it.. the same rings as the LMB5.

Sure. But then they'd have to quadruple the price.

 

[Ryan Hamblin]

Yes I was referring to the MB 20 and the MMB-1 with the 143mm back, and what I would need to step it down to the 114... I thought they used to make a 138mm bellows to 114? Maybe I need to just sell it and get the red mattebox, any plans to have a 15mm mount for it in the near future?

 

[Stephen Lovett]

Hi Ryan,

Arri does make a bellows back for the MB20 and other 143mm backs. Then you use the step down rings that Jarred linked to, screw them into the bellows back and you are all good.

Obviously this won't work in a clamp on configuration, it's designed to be supported by rails.

Cheers,

Steve
