DZOFilm Vespid 2/i Technology with RED S35 PL Mount MG?

[Rui Guerra]

Hi all,

With a DSMC2 camera (Weapon MG) and a RED Magnesium S35 PL Mount, anyone have tried to connect any lens with Cooke /i Technology and see the lens data in the camera's monitor?
Specifically, can you see in real time at the monitor the focus distance and the lens focal length?

I've tried with a several DZOFilm Vespid2 lens and the only thing I can see at the monitor is the aperture setting...

The RED MG PL Mount that I'm using has 4 contacts so I've assumed it should be able to pass the basic lens data (aperture, focus distance and focal length) to the camera.

I should add that I've checked under the lens metadata tab (menu > settings > setup > lens > metadata) and although the lens full name was correct, at the bottom of the window, the "lens min. focal length" and "Lens max. focal length" were both just showing "0"!

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Today I had the chance to do some more tests.

After reinstalled again the latest firmware version in the camera there were no improvements: with the new Vespid Primes 2 I still cannot see focus distance or focal length.

This time I've shot a short clip and looked at the metadata in Redcine X: absolutely nothing there, not even the T-stop (that I actually was able to see at the monitor, although not as "white bright" as the other settings, don't know why).

Here is a photo to show the empty metadata fields.

Anyone have already tried this lens or have an idea of where can be the problem?
