  • 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 :)

Everything you wanted to know about the EPIC Canon Mount

Joseph Hutson said:
Any piece for the Scarlet will work with the EPIC and vice versa. The reason why you can't buy a Aluminum Canon Mount "ala carte" is because RED wishes to fill all orders for the Scarlet/Al Canon mount first...

Thanks for the info, Joseph. I was virtually certain that the mounts were completely interchangeable, but I couldn't figure out why the aluminum mount wasn't listed as an option for Epic or why it wasn't available in the store for separate purchase.
 
Thank You RED, I love Epic with Ti Canon Mount.

Taken with a Canon 50mm f/1.4

Any body in Southern California and want to book this Model also, please let me know. She's great too.

Really? I think it has an amazing bokeh as well.

Too busy, that bokeh, for my taste. Too frenetic. I also don't like how sharp areas fall off - it looks too different from cine lenses. We never shoulder-shoot anything except maybe 24 or 35 (and this for the rough look, deliberately shaky) so IS is of no interest. Other L lenses are much more appealing to me, but I'm not just after sharpness. To me all Ls are plenty sharp in 1080p which is the final output of 100% of our work.
 
Got our Scarlet with Ti Canon mount yesterday. I really love the build quality of the mount, and tested it with a few of our lenses. I was able to autofocus, confirm or work fully manual.

But I couldn't find out how to control focus with the REDmote. Shouldn't this be possible? How do I configure the wheel to control a lens?

TIA

+ a few 3rd party lenses. More lenses being added weekly.

If your lens is not on the list, it's ok, you still will get rudimentary support, such as IRIS control and Stabilization if the lens has it.


I will add things to this list as questions come up.. so ask away.

What new lenses were added in build 3.0?
 
Anybody compared the Canon 85mm 1.2 to the Samyang (aka Rokinon, Walimex etc.) 85mm 1.4?

I'm curious about the bokeh in particular, since I like that very much in the Samyang. Canon claims great bokeh because of a a round aperture, but as we all know, that's not the only factor for a great bokeh. Is the bokeh busy when stopped down (which is depending on correction of the spherical aberration)?

But then the focus control of the Canon is quite attractive in this typical portrait length, even for the much higher price …

How bad does it breathe ?

Plus, what about the 85mm 1.8 ?

The 85 1.2 is hands down the best Canon mount lens. Period. Sharpness even at 1.2 is superb, bokeh is superb. Sure, it's expensive (albeit cheap by cine standards), but it's worth it. Focus speed is limited by internal motors however (no truly manual focus) so no way to do a quick cranked rack (although it's not too bad, just not mega-quick as you can with a manual cranked pull.)

Sorry, but that link is sending me in circles. Would you mind posting the right one to Evin's run down?

TIA
 
yeah I see, it's jumping to Jarreds Canon mount post.
 
Weird the forum is acting buggy, or my computer.

Go find the "Lens Tests" toward the bottom of the main forum page. It's in the "Shooting Red" section. Just below "Audio"

Look for the stick at the top called "SALT II results...."

BAM, your in. Sorry about the screwy link.
 
Thanks, it works for me by copy and paste in the browser…

Great test, thank you, Evin!
 
I don't typically post without something specific to say.....but.....read and absorb what Rob said in his post. It's inarguable, accurate and you'll regret anything else you do in comparison. Interesting thing is...I'm a Nikon shooter....(but I use the 85 1.2L on my Epic).
 
Is the programmable focus pull functionality enabled at this stage? (set point A & point B, set pull duration, push hotkey to execute focus pull). I remember a video RED posted quite some time ago showing it in action.

Sorry if this has been answered already - I made it through 60 pages of this thread and thought it would be quicker just to ask :)
