  • 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 :)

Pure speculation, My thinking so far.
If its epic, then it has either PL, Canon or Nikon mount yes?

...or the new Red mount that will be used on the new lenses... Which is probably the one you see in this picture.

If no mount then fixed?
If fixed then its scarlett based.
Lens is 8x (confirmed).
I see a "2", the rest is hidden.

In 2/3 inch format, you aren't going to see a 2.x mm zoom anywhere.
Zeiss's excellent super wide prime is 3.9mm.
A wide would be 4.9 or 5.x mm. More like likely 7.x mm like most eng kit.
so the 2 is for a double digit twenty to something zoom but 8x
24 or 25 mm is pretty standard on the wide end, times 8 is about 200ish mmm.

Well, look again :

It's a 24-7?, so definately not 8x, more like 3x, so definately not fixed Scarlet.
And nobody said this was a 2/3" lens...
 
and I can't find the focal length markings ... on the other side?

I think so too. OLED markings, changable because the focus gear is not actually a gear. Instead it's just an electronic rotary encoder masquerading as a focus gear. That way, it can be electronically switched to focus in both directions (Cinema/Canon, or Nikon/"backwards") This also allows for auto-focus and touch tracking focus that doesn't actually spin the gear, only the actual focus mechanism which is all inside the lens. Okay, so this is total conjecture, but it could be pretty darn cool :shocked:
Peace,

the best point against it being scarlet is that it's an epic X post.

maybe even 24-75?

anybody can tell what the markings 1-6 on top of the gunner could be for?

the PL mount real life picture

here it's is definitely visible... hmmmm...

That's one of the upcoming RED electronic lenses for FF. They use the new "RED mount". Good chance that the RED mount doesn't have a locking collar like PL or what they have done with the Nikon or Canon mounts.

It's already been said that the camera in the Gunner picture is Epic.

The only fixed-lens camera that has been announced thus far is still the 2/3" Scarlet with 8X zoom.

I was starting to think the same thing...

Also, all the focus marks are at the same distance, which is quite strange too...

Maybe the focus is always (internally) motor driven, allowing to chose in which direction you want it to work (like PL lenses or like photo lenses), and the focus display changes automatically ? That would also explain how they were able to put the same space between all the focus marks...

How about the rest of the riddle Jarred? Worth a beer?

Looking for the lens release button...

Hehe, funny... I called out the OLED screen yesterday, but what do I know. :prrr:
Jeff Kilgroe said:
I keep looking at the renders and I'm loving that electronic lens. Looks like a 24mm-?. The witness mark read-out looks great and easy to read. It looks like it could definitely be illuminated, would be awesome of it's an OLED display with dynamic markings, able to display imperial or metric marks by changing preferences in camera... OK, that might be a bit of a stretch...

ok so it is lit OLED :) cool thing. so that makes it user changeable on how to focus :) and switch from focus to focal length to a flashing OLED screen "REDuser in action" title.
 
Also with the OLED display, it seems there would be no need for separate imperial or metric versions of the lens...
 
OLED would mean the possibility of variable electronic pitch ratio for pulls, maybe even padded. Very useful. Nice
 
and the red mount allows the lense to "intubate" the brain ...?

finally easy readable focus markings!

you could also set up your own markings to which you could pull focus to.
 
Some speculation on my part.

We are told that the camera has 3 axis motion sensors. But I don't know if it can sense rotate azmuith, and zenith, (not sure if those are the correct terms in this case) so if coupled to the new Cartoni head in the render that may have sensors in it for rotate azmuith and zenith would this allow full 6 axis motion to be detected. If so it would make spacial information much easier to extract allowing such things as tracking a point in space to focus much easier.

Just a guess.........
