Fixed or not

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

Definetely fixed for me.

There is not a big choice of cinema 2/3" lenses and it is a hassle having to change the lens, clean sensor, etc, etc.. in a small size camera designed for quick action shots and POV.

What he said + budget restrictions for decent 2/3" or 16mm lenses.

 

[Martin Weiss]

because of autofocus, the money I safe not having a focuspuller can be used for (...)

No autofocus will ever replace a (decent) focus puller.

Of course, I have not seen the RED autofocus in action, but from past experience I would use autofocus very sparingly, maybe to assist in manual focussing - but I would not rely on it for crucial focus jobs.

You have obviously never seen a fluffer do some serious 'pulling'...
No you're right, but at my budget that's all I've got.

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

But will the modules you buy for the 2/3" fixed or cinema work on the S35? And will they work on the Epic line?

No...

They will release the Scarlet 7D for that.

:thumbup1:

Ohhh, a fluffer. LOL. How much does a fluffer cost per scene?:lipsrsealed:

 

[Luke Stewart]

Scarlet Cine for me. It comes out first :laugh:

 

[Joseph Ward]

Two interchangeable and one fixed.

 

[Mohammed El Sharqawy]

fixed then S35.. got lots of FF canon lenses.. but no money at this point.. fixed would be also a great starting camera...
people who mentioned autofocus... add.. who said that fixed lens scarlet will not have manual focusing..
and in addition RED is making a real nice zoom lens on that camera which opens f2.8 to its farest mm..
when red mini primes are on the market a 2/3" Scarlet Cinema is not expensive.. and then you'll have two units sharing all acc.. so, upgrade in peace..

 

[Gunleik Groven]

I would have loved tje zoom to have a greater range, though - both in the wide and long end... But I know that that spec is probably not up for a change. We'll se a lot of "doublers"...

 

[Russ Blaise]

add.. who said that fixed lens scarlet will not have manual focusing..

Does it say anyway that the 2/3" fixed will not have manual focusing? That's some of the information I would like to have right now so I can make a decision whether to wait for the 2/3" fixed to be released or start looking into different camera manufactures. I don't think that is too much to ask. :undecided:

 

[Pietro Impagliazzo]

A professional camera without manual focus...

C'mon guys, stay grounded on reality.

it has fly by the wire manual focusing, so yes... it has manual focusing, it could hardly be considered a real camera without such a feature.

 

[Russ Blaise]

Had me scared there for a moment :yikes: No manual focus :cryin: That's just crazy talk ut: I wish some people would just stop saying stuff like that :frown2:

 

[Jerrod Cordell]

I'm going with the S35 first, and hopefully once I start making money off of that I'll also get a fixed Scarlet for run and gun work and 120 fps (150fps burst )

 

[Are Pilskog]

I find the 2/3 cinema with B4-lenses interesting....
Eager to find out how that will work.

 

[Kyle Presley]

Scarlet Cinema first Scarlet FF35 later. Just bought a sweet Angie zoom to put on the Cinema.

 

[Erik Bien]

I'm leaning fixed, however if RED prices the mini-primes and individual Scarlet modules with their customary aggression I expect to be sorely tempted to go cinema instead ...

Any knowledge on how Nikon/Canon lenses will cover the 2/3" sensor? what about DX lenses?

Also have there been any statements on lens mounts interacting electronically with still lenses?

Well coverage is not an issue since a 2/3" sensor is so much smaller than APS-C.

But what lens will you use for a decent wide angle? Canon 10-22 perhaps (need Birger for that?).

The other issue will be the lens resolution, you may end up with a soft image using 35mm lens.
