NDs in Scarlet Fixed?

[Steve Wake]

I'm as enthusiastic as anyone about HDRx in Scarlet, especially now that we've been able to see it in motion in a situation that's common for me.

Some folks are talking about saving money now on ND's, but they will still be necessary when you want to control DOF and shoot wide open, and in other situations. OK, I know shallow DOF is limited on a 2/3 at f/2.6, but some blur is achievable.

So I was looking for info on NDs and ran across some year-old posts that mention an ND wheel for the Fixed. Does anyone know if that's still in the Spec?

Thanks!

I've seen Jarred confirm the ND wheel more recently the quote I have on file is from Dec. 09. RED usually doesn't remove features without mentioning it so I wouldn't worry.

HDRx may remove the need for NDs in some situations but I'm sure some people will still prefer to shoot in normal mode and NDs will definitely be needed then.

Thanks, Justin. The quotes I found were not from RED, so that's reassuring.

Here is Jarred's quote replying to someone asking if the fixed Scarlet had built in NDs:

3 Positions.. OFF, .9ND and 1.8ND.
