  • 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 :)

If you could only have 1 lens to pair with your Komodo, which would it be?

RF 24-105f4

Because the KOMODO does pretty good in lower light judging by sample clips, and the 24-104 f4 RF is light, sharp, decently fast at f4 and it is built like a tank. That said if GDU made another indestructible lens using the rf 35mm and the autofocus was updated then I’d have to reconsider for run and gun shooting
 
What warms my cold hardened stone heart so very much from everybody who has replied to this thread is that you all have a different opinion on what that one lens is.

And there is the actual answer to the question. There is only the one lens, if you even have to choose just one, that is right for you.

Somewhat what I'm attempting to show with all my rigs and all that. Equally as powerful is you have much more lens choices now than even 10 years ago. It is indeed an incredible time to have access to tools and technology that also come with such freedom of choice.

Happy lensing peeps.
 
I surely go with the ONLY lens ever designed for Komodo form factor (and mirorless). Such a nice fit for run and gun...
The small, yet powerfull, 28-340mm from Angenieux.

You're welcome.

So for compact setup, you can’t beat the RED 17-50mm T2.9 I could shoot a whole feature (and did) with that compact little zoom. No one has built a more compact cinema PL zoom with its size yet.

On the other side, most likely I’ll be using my Cooke 20-100 for this camera if I had just 1 option.

Lastly If it was a prime only... my newly rehoused Nikon Vista Speed T1.5 35mm prime.
 
For me would be a Sigma 18-35.
But only because I haven't found a 28-35mm prime i've fallen absolutely in love with yet (granted, i need to go out and try more)
 
Canon RF 24-70 f2.8... (once it's supported) loving that lens :)
 
How are we feeling about using stabilised lenses like the Tamron 24-70, 2.8 IS?
 
Canon RF 24 -70 usm: Stabilized and great auto focus lens that will boost the AF features on the Red Komodo
 
Seeing a few native RF lenses mentioned. Is IRIS control possible w/ the current firmware? I thought RF support was coming later on, but wasn't sure if that was only for AF, or also IRIS/aperture control.

For the time being, RF lenses are non-functional on the Komodo. No iris control. No AF.
 
Personally I'm looking forward to keeping things compact with my Leicas. 28mm & 50mm is going to go great with this camera.
 
while I plan to get a zoom, likely something like the Canon 24-105 or similar. I plan primarily to use my Leica M glass on it, a small lightweight setup with wonderful image quality

Yeah I don’t own any RF glass but I plan to use the m mount voigtlanders & GDU 24/40 & I plan to get the 24-105 or some of the RF primes.
