  • 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 :)

Weapon 8k Queue

Got it ! I feel like I completed a quest !

Just on rough last minute testing for Arri Master Prime Anamorphics:
35 mm - covers 8k at 1:1 (i.e. 2:1). 7.5k for 6:5 (2.4)
50 mm - covers 8k at 6:5 (i.e. 2.4)

So for HD type deliveries, MP anamorphics in all cases cover at 8k. For 2.4 deliveries you could shoot all the time at 8k, but would have to do maybe a 3% resize when going to ta 2.4 format with the 35mm.

I did some quick testing with converters and anamorphics, there's depandancies by T stop and also lens, so I need to do a lot of playing around with those in order to say something valid.

[edit I did my 3:2 test wrong]

After a light celebratory dinner, Forged Carbon Fiber RED Weapon 8K Monstro VV #47 is safely at home being investigated thoroughly.

Weird timing with the holiday, but testing commences this evening. Footage and thoughts as soon as I can compose them.

Hey, Phil. Shouldn’t your signature read “RED Weapon 8K VV Monstro "Skully"?
 
Got mine delivered this friday. Such a beauty!
love it, when I got it I had been working 48h straight so was a bit dizzy and just did some quick tests now Im more rested after 20 some hours of sleep and eager to do some more testing tomorrow.

All i can say so far is that the sensor is really on the sweet spot for FF glas. My 17mm FD vinjettes quite a bit in FF but just a tangent in Widescreen. And 17mm really looks like an 8mm or such so slightly longer glas will do fine and be more comonly used.

I sent my camera back to RED for its upgrade. I'm definitely at the tail-end of this list. Look forward to getting it back in mid-January!
 
#33 and still waiting to send in---I wonder why people with number around 40 here can send in their cam earlier...I hope they didnt forget me.

I think very few people who had the reservation put their timestamp at the top of this thread - there is of course also all of the non-linearity of the process where timestamp and traditional logic have no effect.
