RED lenses - why not T stop

[Joe Walker]

Job descriptions are there so that I can show up on a commercial in Burbank...Birmingham, Buenos Aires, or Bangkok...www.mattuhry.com

Hey Matt, stop on by anytime, and yes us southerners are used to T-stops as well.... Even down here, it's the industry standard.

 

[Gordon Prince]

Maybe an industry standard but only over the film world. It's not the case of the ENG or EFP shooter or for who is coming from the 1/3" camcorders where this camera has its root. Nor for those still photographers used to handle with the F stop. Not even for those who have no more money to pay above the $19,990 Red Primes deal.

 

[Finner]

For ENG and EFP shooters not ready to step up a level to understand T-stops probably will do just fine sticking with a 1/3" camcorder.

 

[Zed Malone]

i like paying a bit extra for T stops. but to be honest, I really wouldn't know the difference between Fstops and Tstops when it came down to actual use, keeping to a Red prime set.

You're completely wrong. It looks as though you are the only one from your gang who doesn't understand the others needs. Who do you think you are to judge the others for their own viewpoint or interest on F stops? Take your lessons to your own. Be cool or stay away. The choice is yours. Your unfriendly tone is not welcome in a friendly forum.

Just for the record. You've earned my own advice, filmmer... and I'm not telling you to get where you came from.

 

[Finner]

Cool down guy.

Don't know what forum your on but I am no part of any gang.

I understand peoples needs to save money perfectly. Its just I would think most would understand that the few extra hundred spent on getting T-stops would become a very smart investment because the lenses would hold thier value at a much higher level. By the way my choice is to stay but I would perfer if you would stop the threats.

I don't understand your last statement but it seems like english is not your first language as it really does not make sense.

Jarred you promised at our last speedo sleep over that we would keep our gang a secret. Because you told you are out as assistant leader and Brook gets the promotion.

[Gordon Prince]

Thank you for your care Don.

You say so. But as you could check, not all think the same

I won't comment it at all.

Again. Wrong move. As you wish. I sent you a PM. Check it first where it belongs. Otherwise, the only one that came from my mind, it's the same that I won't comment either. But you can easily translate to your own tongue from my own native, given the fact I believe it's not hard to you to become a fluent polyglot (such as I'd probably take from your own overwhelmed statements):

And if, as far as the first meaning is concerned, you have my credits that you're out from there, it just remains the second one.

I said I did not comment and I didn't

My wife usually adds "Pig" on to that.

 

[Gordon Prince]

Yeah, your in your own

Am I missing every third word or something? I need to check this browser. Maybe Firefox will be better...

Besides changing the markings wouldn't you also need to regear the iris?

Otherwise you would be falling on really uneven t-stops wouldn't you? i.e. 3.3 which wouldn't do you any good if nobody else could expose for t3.3 on their lenses. Or do cine irises not pop from stop to stop like a still lens?

Hi Gavin,

Cine lenses don't pop stop to stop.

come on finner.... we all know your the head of the Night Rider Speedo Gang.

I am the actual president of the Night Rider Speedo Image Licensing Consortium.

Darren is under license with my business to use the Hoff with the speedo.

Our company will be releasing a set of lenses marked with David's measurements on the length of the lens. All specs subject to change.

Everything back to normal yet? Is it possible to mark the lens both with F-stops and T-stops-and if yes, in light of Jim's announcement that the 18-50mm will have T-stops, should we presume that it means it will have T-stops in addition to F-stops? Maybe it's been discussed and I missed it.

Am I right in thinking that there is no other PL-mount camera that could use lenses with only F-Stop markings. (Not including Dalsa, D20, Genesis, things most people can't own). Will there be an extremely limited resale market for these lenses?
