  • 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 :)

Significant Update...

Pleased this news is being provided with an unusual amount of advance warning. VERY happy to hear about the removal of aluminum from the lens mounts. It worried me. One gentle suggestion: if Epic-S orders get pushed back beyond, say, November, it would be nice to know if pre-ordering modules at the 2011 price would be less expensive than any package discount for an Epic-S kit in 2012. Of course, we all hope that won't be necessary. :-)

Wow.. I would kill for this option. Add my name to Elsie and Gibbys request.. I do not own a single PL mount lens. But LOADS of Canon Glass

Same here but for the scarlet, I have Nikon Glass up the wazoo...
 
I agree with Steve. I have nothing to do with PL mount as I shoot wildlife with Canon glass. I am sure it won't be a problem giving an option to buyers whether they want a Canon, Nikon or PL mount or multiple mounts (Canon plus PL).

I hear Canon is planning to get into the game soon. One reason for going with this company (Red) would be their vision, incredible leadership and customer focus.


Cheers,

Thank you kindly for that comprehensive update Jim...very generous, and the increases are understandable.

Question:

A significant number of DSMC camera owners/users who shoot hybrid, EFP, and stills will want to use Canon or Nikon lenses exclusively on Epic - at least until the Red Electronic Lenses and mount are ready. I'm one of those. A PL mount is basically useless to most of of us who shoot these styles, because we virtually never use PL mount cine lenses.

Could there somehow be an option when buying an Epic to simply select which mount we'd like as the "stock" mount on the new camera? That would be incredibly cool...even if there needs to be a differential payment to get the Canon or Nikon mount as the stock mount.

I Have my Brand New Epic M it's an incredible tool !
the positioning of the price is still a good deal.
Wainting for My Stage 3 Epic X and the Canon EF mount also.
 
Also Canon is my need because I'll work with Leica-R lenses and Nikon F (newer G lenses).

Novoflex has all those adaptors: Leica R to EOS and NIKON FG to EOS.

And of course have some of Canon EF L glass.

+1

Further to this - would the exlusive use of titanium mount(s) for Canon, Nikon etc also extend to the Scarlet Cinema?
 
Gibby, I like your comment on PL versus Canon/Nikon mount.
A substantial number of people will only use Nikon/Canon optics. This will -probably- also apply to me, although i'm waiting for the Epic-S version.
 
Jim, thanks once again for your generosity. The most impressive aspect about being a Red customer is how cool you guys are. I really can't wait to see what's around the corner, after all the stages are executed.
 
Jim, to clarify.. stage 3 upgrades should happen before 2012 ? If not, will the price hike hit us too?
 
A note to Jim. You can preverse tabs by inserting text in a code block. Click the # icon on the editor toolbar to see what I mean. Here's an example:

Great thought Gibby. +1 on this request. Looks like there is a lot of interest for this option.

I second that!

Thomas.
 
Another one who would highly appreciate if could take the Canon mount and not the PL-mount at all. Still, have to say, the offer of RED is sooooo generous already that it's bit embarrasing to ask for changes.
 
My stomach has been in knots since this update. I just know Epic-S is not going to be released until after Jan 1st, and have a $19,000+ brain price tag.
