  • 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 :)

LEICA R on RED: Pictures

I am told the margins are already small but there will be a discount off the 49$ price one we get to 25. If we get to 25 then i will consider doing a group buy.

Your 7 would take us to 14 i think.

I haven't tried either but from what I gather they were great in their day but are out-resolved by newer designs.
Speaking of which, may want to also consider a 250 f4 or even 105-280 F4.2 with 1.4 and 2.0 apo extenders, which should both render sharper especially in the outer regions.
Also the amazing 280 f4 apo with extenders is stellar but pricey by comparison (and there's also the modular APO tele-lenses for a good bit more).

Thanks for the input Mark, the 250mm f4 with the 2x looks like it might be a good way to go. The apo tele-lenses look amazing but out of my budget at the moment haha.
 
Matt,

The 250 f4 is a great lens. It's pretty heavy so you might consider some lens support for it.

Also Matt, look for the 2nd version 250/4 from 1980. Its a bit lighter, renders less flare and captures more detail than the older v1.
 
I just recently ordered the full set of gears, step-up rings and caps from Michael for 7 lenses. They are very well machined and fit perfectly, according to the measurements I sent him.
The gears are 8mm in thickness, and can't be thicker. So for the 100mm Macro I guess I'll just have to 3D print the gear and use that then, as the focus ring on the macro travels too far while focusing.
Also I had to get the special step-up ring from duclos for the 19mm V2, as this lens doesn't have filter threads. Unfortunately it's such a niche product, that it doesn't make sense for Michael to produce it, which is understandable though.

That is exactly what I did for my Macro and also for my 19mm. Currently I have them stepped up to 95, but I would rather have 80mm step up rings and caps for teh whole set.

Thanks guys. So glad the motion mount is playing nice with my Epic-W after reading others had issues... and the R glass is icing on the cake :)

Hey guys,

Wanted to put out feelers for a potential group buy with Cordvision. They are selling heat fir delrin gears from their site now and 80mm fronts with caps. I have a full set of fronts and caps for my Nikon set, but he does do a lot of Leica lenses already.

The price is already amazing at 49$ per gear, but with enough people he can probably do a little better.

Have a look, let me know what you think and if there is interest I will follow up.

Also, there is the possibility for 95mm press fit caps if there is enough interest.

Hi David, I'd be interested in 2 cine rings and 4 caps. Does he sell series 7 cine rings by any chance?
 
Hey guys,

Don't think the GB thing will happen. The interest is limited. But I do encourage you to contact him directly for purchases.

David
 
Thanks mark,

That last Epic W shot you posted is classic Leica!

Nice.

Hello David, I'm struggling to make a 300DPI tiff from the 8K. I've tried with REDcine but that looks capped at 72. I cannot get PS to read the files. Would you have any advice for me?
 
You can open an r3d snapshot directly into photoshop and set the dpi to 300 there. Just download the adobe photoshop installer from red.com support and you should be good to go.

Savid.
