Birger Canon Lens Database

will the 400mm 2.8L work? haven't tried it but the lens is sitting here ready to go, unfortunatly I dont have a red yet, hopefully soon :smile5:

 

[Lauri Kettunen]

Robert, if you 400mm/f2.8 is the newest model it will work. The older version, which has the focus speed switch, did not work earlier. However, not able to say whether the latests Birger libraries have solved the issue.

 

[Oliver Skibbe]

Some more lenses:

• Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 L: aperture OK, manual focus only (19x and 20a)
• Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS: aperture OK, focus OK (19x and 20a)
• Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L: NO aperture, NO focus (20a)
• Canon EF 300mm f/2.8 L: aperture OK, focus not testet (19x)

Haven't discovered any problems with the 14mm/f2.8.

Any chance you could share a grab from a Red?

Sure, right now uptaken by other matters but will find footages shot with 14mm but later on will find and post an image.

 

[Robert Craig]

I love the 14, such a nice lens. Its unbelievably good and I l love the distortion less properties. Definitely one to buy.

Erik, do you have any word on when the D-tap will be available?

Sigma 120-300 2.8

Iris yes, lens correctly recognized with lens data, but

no focus control

...I have a RED battery plate. If this is not what people are using, I need to know this. I do not want to design a connector, and contract a mold, only to find out that we have created something that is not universal. Any manufacturers that we should be talking to about getting some sample battery plates from?

Red's battery plates are definitely not the best. Anton Bauer, IDX or Sony V-plates with D-taps are probably more "standard" than Red's! They certainly lock better!

 

[Shane Betts]

We're using the Switronix double plate if that's of any help. Don't have our Birger yet (Just ordered it this week).

Im trying to decide between the Tokina 11-16 2.8 and Sigma 10-20mm 3.5.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

 

[paul engstrom]

every little bit of iris is worth it; get the Tokina.

Canon 70-200 IS VS non IS

Hi Friends I am planning to buy birger mount along with few canon lenses
I hae one confusion I am planong to buy 70-200 L 2.8 but i am confused on IS or Non IS the confusion is because of price diffrence please suggest
that Do IS (image stabliser) is very essential or can i get good result without IS too please advice

 

[Steven-Marc C.]

I'd say you can do without IS because you are most likely to use these long focal lengths with a tripod anyway.

 

[jawafilms]

Thanks
