Hey, my friend is on a shoot and their Weapon won't boot up. They were doing a shot with a car, but now they can't get it to power on. Do you think it needs the firmware reinstalled?

Lol Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 yeah Heard about what happenend on set the driver missed his mark and crashed an 8K Weapon :( The good news is the media and the RED MAG made it!!!! My buddy on set sent me the pic so sad man :(
 
That hurts... I mean, I can physically feel pain :mellow:
 
Funny . . . my 8K Weapon won't boot up either ;-)
 
A question though... is that Leica a Summilux? Wouldn't that be unable to cover 8K, especially at 18mm. It won't cover 6K. But the attachment on the back of it looks like some kind of adapter. Are we able to use Summilux or Summicron with an adapter on the 8K to get the Leica look on the 8K? That would be awesome... with a whole camera that is :tongue_smilie:

It's a Summicron-C. And while it doesn't cover 8K FF, it has nice coverage at higher resolutions especially using the WS formats.

What you are looking at is the internal guts of the lens itself, which extends out to the PL Mount.

IB/E Optics is making their S35XFF Expander which should allow for lenses like the Summicron-C, which are designed for Super 35mm, to cover the full 8K FF sensor while maintaining the familiar FOV of S35 on the VV+ format size. Of course at the cost of a stop of light.


Interestingly enough now that I have stared at the photo for a second, considering the condition of the OLPF, I do wonder if the sensor somehow survived this crash. Without seeing the rest of the lens, it also looks like it did pretty considering the hell it went through.

I can think of a few other notable camera and lens destroying crashes, but I don't think I've seen one destroy such a "rare bird" of a camera before.

Yeah, makes sense. Otherwise, even if it's not in the same price range, the HS Celere 18mm will cover. I talked to Steven about it and it's supposedly going to be able to cover FF/VV and still be a T1.6, which is quite impressive.

The most memorable crash in recent years is I think the Dark Knight where they crashed the IMAX camera during the chase sequence... that "ouch" probably hurt even more.
 
Killing an 8K weapon is almost as bad and seldom as killing a unicorn.
 
Yeah my buddy who is working as a Phantom Tech said they are killing REDS left and right and keeping Panavision very very busy!!! I need the find the pic of the other angle you will see how bad it really is (also was in a Stunt/Protective Housing too). So imagine how hard had to hit the camera to break that and the camera itself but like I was told the footage/RED MAG made it!!!
 
Never mind the camera... WAS THE SENSOR DOA!!!
 
trying to get the pic from the other side and not the sensor didn't make it :( but the OLPF made it :) and the media/RED MAG
