  • 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 :)

Dragon and Leica lenses...

All cover except the 18mm, which is in the lens thread stickied atop this Dragon section.

Isn't the 18 a full frame design? It's certainly slow enough to be a full frame design. I wonder if the design of the housing is what's vignetting, not the actual optics themselves. My Contax 18 F4 (the older version of the Zeiss 18) is full frame and covers a 5D just fine.

Yep. It's something to do with the housing from what I recall. It's been a while since I've tested it, but I know it doesn't cover full 6K.
 
Sometimes a wide lens needs those corner cutouts (seen on the front of FF35 lenses), that cine lenses usually don't have, to have FF corners that don't porthole.

I wonder about the ultra prime, anybody know something?

Is 5.5 or 6k?

Looks like UP's are getting some new life. Even though they cover 6k, they'll fall off in sharpness toward the edges but by how much? I'd like to see how many lines per millimeter they cover across the whole 6k coverage dimensions.

NICE! The last thing I saw on the big screen that blew me away was The Conjuring , shot with Summilux lenses. oh my! what a beautiful look those lenses produce!

Just saw that today. I agree but was it me or did the AC buzz a lot of those shots? (He's obviously talented given his resume however that long take near the beginning, they nailed it.) Sometimes it was hard to form an opinion of the lenses. Also it was shoot on Alexa. Im curious as to how a RED/Leica combo looks.

we have shot something with RED and Leica Lux-C. Once its out, I will be posting it on REDUSER.
 
I am a little sad for the Lecia C owners, that their image circle is too small for dragon. But heck , big sensors are the bomb!
The bigger the sensor is more forgiving the camera is to substandard lens optically.

Charles, Leica C Image circle covers 6K at 18mm as well. The notes on the coverage done by Phil, says vignette's slightly. Vignetteing and not covering are two different things.

Leica Summilux-C covers 6K. Period.

Yes it's not like there is a pot holing situation.
However , I am just using Leica's extremely high standards in this regard.
Anyway good to know these things.

considering the size of each lens (being small) and same throughout the focal range (maybe 135mm T1.4 they are developing would be bigger). They cover 34mm Image Circle.

Its is Leica standard.

:smiley:
 
Does anyone know how the Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge 16-42 mm matched 3D lenses perform with the Dragon sensor?
 
Then you'll be able to answer my over a year long question. Are Summilux C Primes > Master Primes?

Well, I guess this is a good time as any to also let you guys know in this thread that thanks to John Ryan & Ryan Wilmott, we'll have a set of Leica Summilux C Primes on Dragons for "The RED dress, shoot on Monday... ;)
