LEICA R on RED: Pictures

[vincent kardasik]

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

Beautiful stuff David! Love the B&W!

 

[David Battistella]

Thanks Vincent. Rated at 1000 ISO for this shoot.

Nice stuff Mark!

Thanks, David. Best decision I ever made, getting these lenses.

How is everybody putting these on their cameras? Leitax has been out of the declicked Nikon bayonets for months, I'm considering converting them to Pentax then using an adapter but that is more strain than I'd like to put on my 180.

I have an actual mount from here:

Hey Mark, is that the 90 f2.0? There is one of these on sale at a dealer near me.

While I'm posting in this thread, they also have a 50 Summicron f2.0 (3 cam, whatever that means) for approx $500 AUD. Why is this lens so cheap? For that matter, they also have a 180mm 2.8 for around $500 AUD as well. Are the optics on these lenses not great? What am I missing here? Seem a bit too good to be true.

Hey Guys, i've dabbled on Ebay with looking for prices for what I'd get selling my Leica R's. And i'm really really against it. It's not something I want to do. But our family recently has had some family emergencies and money is tight.

I'm not 100% set on selling these just yet but i'd like to explore what the value might be. The set is:

Leica R 24 2.8 (made in Germany E60) this number is on the lens as well and couldn't locate it on the others : 3209755
Leica R 28 2.8 (made in Germany)
Leica R 35 2.0 (made in Germany)
Leica R 50 2.0 (made in Canada/Serviced in Germany) 3536356
Leica R 80 1.4 (made in Germany E67)

All are in pretty good condition. The best you could expect for their age. I've had them cleaned once. I can post photos as well if anyone is interested. I just don't really know the value and Ebay has always scared me a bit in terms of selling/buying. The only real issue is the 80 1.4 has lost its red dot for alignment when mounting to a camera mount. I'm not sure where to find the serial on these, if someone can point me in the right direction i'll pull them and post them if there is interest.

These lenses all belonged to a former Leica employee who cared for them and just wasn't using any of them. Thanks guys! Even if no one is interested I'd be curious at what the value might be. If anyone is interested please feel free to make an offer and i'll take photos.

This is not Epic
It was shot on c100 with Leica R (35 f2, 50 f1.4 90 f2)
Micro budget.
On both shoots I used one 650 W to punch the face with tungsten and 2 kinos with daylight. Footage is graded.
It was a second test I made with those lenses, which thanks to this Thread I recently spend money on )
I am absolutely in love with them !

Here are some stills from two opener videos I DP'd and shot recently. Dragon 5k (Leica R 19,24,35,50,80,135). I love these lenses!!

Need some advice fast! Have tracked down a 19mm v2 for a good price, though I'm not sure what year or serial numbers I should be looking for. Can anyone give me a quick lesson? I'm heading over there soon to inspect

 

[Phil Holland]

Nice shots there Kenny.

What's the serial N°?

Last week in Saas Fee, Switzerland, while shooting a lookbook for a client, we stopped by that church in the middle of nowhere and took five minutes to snap that pic.
Monyca shot on Red Epic Dragon with the Summilux 35mm.

Vincent! Looking good as always.

Here are a few frame grabs from a job a couple of months ago. All shot on the Leica R 135.

We're shooting a music video this weekend that will all be shot on R's. I'll post it when it's finished.

Hi!

Is anybody using a Leica Vario-Elmar 35-70mm f4.0 lens? I had mine recently serviced since i thought the aperture blades do not fully open. Could somebody please send me a photo which is taken through the lens on the 35mm setting with open aperture blades. Or could somebody confirm that the aperture blades do not fully open in that setting? Cheers!

 

[Milan Spasic]

I'm not sure what you mean by "not opening fully", it opens fully to f/4

That's completely normal on the 35-70 f4 zoom and have seen it on multiple samples. They should open up entirely towards 70mm though.

Ha just looked at mine, you are right, the aperture changes with the zoom. You learn something every day.
