Cooke panchro

[Jon MIchael Puntervold]

Anyone has some images from an Epic or Red MX Panchro combo? Would love to see some

 

[Christopher Barrett]

I have a bunch of samples Here on R1 MX.

Just got back from my first shoot on Epic with them, will post samples when available.

H chris. Anyway you can take some pictures of the actual lenses? I ordered a set, but I am looking for shots of the lenses themselves to get a context of size and scale? I am using red pro primes now and they are huge! Shots with them also mounted n the Epic would be awesome! Thanks for any help. I am scouring for image samples and pics of the lenses.

Damn that's sexy! Nice pic Mr. Barrett

 

[Randall Brown]

thanks for the pic, that helps a ton! i cant wait for my set to come in. ZGC says it may be 2012 though!? ugh. how long did it take you to source your set? Cooke must be busy...

I just finished my first Red Epic and Panchro/i shoot. I can't post stills until I get permission from the director and etc, but it was quite a great experience. The Epic sure has a great image. The cooke lenses make getting that lovely image consistent and easier. Besides the inherent Cooke look, which we all like, their expanded focus scales and consistent color/contrast match criteria, make focus pulling and coloring easier and faster, as on any camera. The lens i/data is also wonderful. The Epic constantly feeds my T/stop in the eye piece. We didn't play much with the i/technology and focus, but i've done so on the RedMX.

The Epic really did impress me.

The only thing Red needs to work on is the focal length. The Epic kept misreading the focal length of the lenses. Surely a software issue on their end, considering cooke invented the i/technology platform, so I doubt the lens was shipped to me with incorrect i/data.

I'll post some images from our Red Epic shoot soon. Until then, there is the Epic and a Panchro/i in action on set!

Same problem here with the i technology focal length issue. Do all of your lenses read as 48mm on your Epic?

Yes. I believe that was it. I just remember it was wrong.

 

[Robert Horwell]

yes there is some problem with the focal lengths reading incorrectly

Panchros have really amazing flares, so smooth. you really dont get the aperture persay, but a fading veiling flare as you can see above. Best part is, despite the sun going straight in to the lens, you still get blacks.

My god. The way RED put a Nuclear reactor in a match box..... Cooke put an Angel in a thimble.

..... Cooke put an Angel in a thimble.

agree 100.
cookes are the best, love them!

 

[Clint Lealos]

I like "Angel in a thimble".

 

[Christopher Barrett]

Yup all my lenses are shown as 48mm on the LCD. Notice how instead of getting a focus distance (like the R1 does) you get a depth of field readout? It changes with your aperture too ( as it should) but reads in Metric. Looks like Red has lots of plans for iData in the future.

 

[Ryan Patrick O'Hara]

Considering Cooke invented the i/technology format, do you think any lenses are working? I'd assume if the Cooke aren't reading right, RPP's, new Angies and others aren't either. I hope that's a simple firmware fix. I like showing off my Cooke i/technology on set. The R1mx was impressive when it gave exact focus measurements. Very cool stuff, even if your post pipeline doesn't need the info.

You can now get Cooke Panchro/i's uncoated if you want that more vintage look, or desire the flares and contrast qualities of uncoated lenses. Very cool too!
