Guess I can wipe the rest of my resume and just add 1 line: "work at RED" :)
 
Lens Mount Question?

Lens Mount Question?

All things are subject to change... but from now on there better be a pretty good reason.

Please forgive my marking up such a sexy image with spray paint. Out of respect, I did pick the color RED.

On the original mock ups, the piece painted red appeared to have mounting screws accessible from the outside of the camera. As such, it appeared that it would be easy for a user to remove this mount (the PL-mount) and replace it with a third party mount without having to disassemble the camera. On this series of images, it appears that these screws are only accessible from inside the camera. Any chance the mounting screws are accessible once the lens is removed?

We are considering offering a follow focus unit for CanonEF, NikonF and FourThirds lenses for this camera and accessible screws would make this an upgrade that could be performed in the field. An easy to remove lens mount would allow us and other third parties to provide a wder range of lens options to your shooters/owners.

If this piece is easily removable, what is the back focal distance (in air) from this mating surface. If it is less than 1", preferably less than 0.9" it will make it much easier (and less expensive) for us to adapt our existing CanonEF controller to this camera. Even if we don't come out with a follow focus unit when the camera is first available, we do believe some users will desire to have iris control for EF lenses tha does not require carrying around a Canon camera body, and using it to make the iris change.

If the screws are not accessible from the outside of the camera, do any Red reservation holders want to chime in as to whether this is a "pretty good reason" for change.


Regards,
Erik.

that jet Evin posted is actually an old one.. this is Jim's current Jet. I think it just got some Red accents recently.

the camo is actually the globe.. Portugal and Spain are nearest the front on this side.

BIG yes please! :cool:
 
birgerEngineer, please please please! Please at least get us the CanonEF->PL mount with iris adjustment by Red launch. My dad and I have like $5k worth of EF lenses and would buy your mount if it was reasonably priced by Red's launch. If it's not by launch, we will be forced to invest in a pile of Nikon glass. bleh. Follow focus would be swell later, but at least get us going in EF by end of May.
 
Erik,
from what I read on Birger´s site, a PC is needed to remote a Canon lens. Any chance for a field-type solution, like a focus wheel in a box?

Wow, that picture of N2T jet was shot in Prague at March 20 and 23 last year, and after it was seen nightstopping in Switzerland ZRH, 23/24 Mar on a flight to Fargo, ND.
