The Update Thread

Interesting to see if these actually resolve 8K as they claim.

+1.

And I'm also a bit sceptic about coverage on the wide end with the 18-35. (I know the stills version of the Sigma art 18-35 vignettes on Dragon 6K) Probably have to go down to around 7.5K on Helium (according to Phil Hollands tool.) I guess time will tell.
I hope for a great match together with Epic-W/Helium if they cover.

Most FF lenses should be ok right? For instance, Canon 24-105, etc.

this is the video that got me hooked on red

I know you posted this like 4 pages ago but I just want to say that this is also the reel that made me fall in love with RED. It's the first thing I ever saw in 4K, at the big ass theater at RSH during REDucation 2012. What I wouldn't give to have a 4K copy of this reel...

 

[Thomas Koch]

Perfect question and perfect answer. We don't want too many details. That's what the 11th is for.

I'm stoked at the answer "Will the Epic-W be able to shoot Prores with Redcode R3D at the same time?" "yes" I'm totally content with that being 2k or 1080 prores with r3d. That would be great. Coming from Epic Dragon, I see that reducing my rig by exactly one shogun recorder.

I dont think it will be a problem...I have canon L Lenses too...

IMO, the 24-105 f 4 has trouble with the Scarlet in 5K. That lens never ceases to disappoint me.

Really? How so?

 

[Carson Nyquist]

Yes.

There it is.

Any plans for a Scarlet or Raven Helium?

I changed my post per page setting up to 40, so now the topic is only 91 pages long, moves a little slower now

This is what Jarred posted a few days ago in this thread.

When the dust settles, there will be:

Dragon DSMC2:

Raven
Scarlet-W
Weapon Dragon 6k
Weapon Dragon 8k VV

Helium DSMC2:

Epic-W 8K
Weapon Helium 8K

Since the discussion has turned to lenses, does anyone know what kind of resolving power one can expect from Leica R primes? I'd suspect they're great, but wondering how they'd pair w/ all those K's.

 

[Rakesh Malik]

Leica lenseso are among the best in the business.

Yeah that's was I was hoping to hear. Lens choices can be so subjective and I've been super happy, aesthetically, with my new set of R's on M-X... needed some reassuring that investment will perform on Helium too.

 

[Dan Kanes]

At ECLAIR - The Leica R's were absolutely STUNNING on Scott D's Helium 8K

BOOM!

I was already excited about the 11th. After this I'm not sure how to describe the emotion...

 

[Dean Butler]

Someone steal a Delorean and get it up to 88 miles per hour.

 

[Matthew Quinn]

haha. I keep checking in to see if anything new has been posted. I'm going to bed

 

[PatrickFaith]

All I really want is a timeline on my weapon VV, yet my magnum appears its discontinued before I even start depreciating it? I kind of feel stuck and can't see myself spending a lot of money on upgrades, waiting for info on oct11 kind of seems non-relavent to me.
