LEICA R on RED: Pictures

[Mark M]

When I first bought Leica lenses this spring it was for the superior image quality, bang-for-buck, etc. But the lenses also come with an adoptive family of sorts. The gratitude (and inspiration!) flows from there.

Great picts Raafi. Love how the orange dress pops. 35 Cron?

And well put, these do seem to come with an adoptive family... many of whom are of child-bearing age with a propensity for delivering twins and even triplets

Thanks, Mark. Yeah the pics are 35 Cron. I've been noticing a little CA and vignetting wide open, but magic starts to happen just a stop or so down from there.

Nice work guys! Keep em coming.

35-70mm 2.8 Leica R @ 2.8 6k LL OLPF, this lens has also a Macro setting. The pic of the plant is with that macro setting.

Hello,
love this thread and now I can start contributing to it!
A few samples from my dragon / leica R combo. Got the lenses from Mark a couple of months back.
Shot run and gun in a fisherman's town in the Colombian pacific coast.
Let me know what you guys think!

Hey Guys,

This thread has me officially convinced. I am dropping in on a 6-8 lens set. Just based on ages and lenses. How would recommend going about getting the most effective set or closest to matching set?

Best Regards,
Nate Balli

Started a new film today. I love this lens, it's a zoom made by Angènieux for the Leica R lineup. A rare beauty. Just special.

Angènieux 70-210, mostly all at 210, maybe 5.6 or 4 on most of these shots. Right out of RCX, one light.

Here's my latest work:

Dragon 6K + Leica R and Angénieux zoom lenses...

Hello!

I'm about to buy a set of Leica R from Van Diemen.

I assume that some of you who have been posting those beautiful images on here will have one and I was wondering if they breathe or is any downside with the Van Diemen rehousing that I should know before buying them.

Thank you very much!

And fabulous images

Dominik, have you tried using RCX's white balance picker tool to get more accurate skin tones? I like your shots though.

Also, I'm curious about your shooting setup. Do you use the DSMC Side Handle or a top handle or a tripod?

 

[Dominik Muench]

not really I do all the color balancing/ grading in Photoshop based on my current mood and liking really. Im not too much of a purist when it comes to neutral skintones really.
Yup always have the DSMC handle on and usually a side and or top handle as well.

Dominik.... speechless

Your footage has a great sharpness to it. How did you achieve this look?

 

[David Battistella]

Here's a few from a recent thing I did. Normal Dragon 6K. Mix of 19mm V2, 35mmlux and 100mm APO
