  • 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 :)

Sensor displacement?

Hey all. So I recently purchased the RED Standard OLPF for my RED Dragon and while I was changing it, I noticed that the sensor seemed to be not quite straight. The right hand side seems to be pushed in a little. I have no idea if this is normal or not, and so far I've noticed no change in images coming out of the camera, but just thought I'd see if anyone knows what this may be?

What I'm seeing here are the accordion-style bellows from the OLPF up against the glass covering your sensor. If you pop the OLPF out the slightest and place it back, the bellows will probably straighten.

EDIT:

Okay, now I see what you mean. The bellows are not flush, meaning the right side of the sensor is indented a little bit... Interesting.
 
Double check how your OLPF is seated.

i'm not sure it's the sensor, look s more like the OLPF than the sensor itself.
