  • 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 :)

Anyone have any examples of this combination?
 
I was thinking about purchasing these lenses, I have a mini as well, but was curious as to how they looked with the monstro.
 
I haven't used them with a RED camera but have day played on a couple shows where they use Signature Primes on the Venice & Mini LF.

They're excellent lenses but being LPL mount only is a real pain (unless something has changed since I used them last year). AC's would get frustrated switching back & forth from PL to LPL when they had to use change to PL zoom lenses. Many rental houses have the same issues given that the vast majority of cinema lenses are PL mount (at least outside of Panavision)

If you're planning to own, I'd go with the Supreme primes. Much lighter & PL mount.
 
the signatures just have some very pleasing to the eye to me. i really want to see what it looks like on the monstro with the LPL mount
 
We have a Monstro and Signatures and there is no difference between this combo and anyone working on a LF, LF mini or a venice with gecko mount. The LPL to PL lives in the LPL mount and just pops out when you use the Signatures...

in LPL we have Signatures, TLS Canon Dream series and very soon TLS Mamiya set... all out Zooms are PL and this work well...

they look great together and if you want smooth but clean modern lenses they are in a different class/type from supremes BUT as always lens choice is subjective and they are not right for every project... they are not as boreing as Master primes but if you like funky old glass they are prob not right.

they are super super clean from axial CA and I find this helps Red cameras slighlty more than ARRI for example... but for the most part they perform on Red not unlike they perform on ARRI or Sony cameras.... please do test with the skintone OLPF
 
Can you link some footage? really want to see some examples
