back focus null lens for scarlet cinema

[dean merrill]

I found this on abelcine. I'm not planning on getting an interchangeable unless something changes, but this would be handy to have:

well worth the money, and pretty simple to use:

I have the NULL it's excellent.

It's part of a two-piece system, the NULL lens and the NULL target. The target threads onto the front for when you need to set your back focus and don't have a good subject in the distance to point it at. Like when you'r working in a van or camera prep room. The thought behind the two-piece system is to allow the user to have one target unit and then buy Null lenses in various mounts. Currently it's available in PL, but I'd love to see it in Mini-RED mount, Nikon, Canon, etc..

Boy ... I really second the Nikon mount idea. It would be valuable not only for the RED cameras, but also all of the DOP adapters out there.

However, I would love to see the Nikon null lens at a cheaper price point to the PL mount.

There is a Nikon adapter for the Optimator as it uses a neutral mounting system.

Jeff- did you get your Target already??

Jacek- Still no word from your boys!!

NULL Targets are shipping soon. NULL Lenses are available now. Nikon mount NULL Lenses are coming. I'm in Atlanta this weekend for the ICG Mega Digital event, showing off (among other things) the NULL Lens and the first production model NULL Target.

Null is a good product and priced well however i think if thinking about getting one then why not try a OptiTek Optimator first, there are demo units that can be send out.

So now both Optitek and BandPro are double-teaming here on REDuser? Is BandPro planning to join as a sponsor?

Easy, tiger
We all know how much you love your little gadget, it's just not the only one out there ....

 

[Mitch Gross]

Yes Jacek, and you're a sponsor so I see no problem with you promoting your product. Let the clients choose what works best for them. But I do have a problem with someone effectively advertising without paying for it, especially considering that we do pay.

Mitch, you're absolutely right, Abtin (and BandPro) need to clear this up. I see one of the other mods already got to them before me.

Jacek, you're a sponsor, that's great. But that does not cover BandPro just because they are promoting your product. They have been promoting other products on the forums too. All fine and good, but they need to play by the rules.
