First of all, thank you so much Red team! You made a kick ass camera and I can't get enough of it. Mad props to John R., my Bomb Squad guy. Thanks a million for getting me the goods! :biggrin:
I got home with my red about 7 PM last night and I'm just about to [finally] go to bed now, at about 6 AM. :) This thing is addicting. My plan was to go get some real life shots, but the battery quickplate is on backorder, so I'm tethered to my apartment for the time being. I only have a few props here - beer, milk and a doll. More on that later...
The attached pic is my minimalist configuration. LCD, AC power (battery soon), and the ET top cheeseplate combo. Those 15mm rods work surprisingly well in lieu of a handle. :)
Anyway, here are a couple screen grabs:

And here are a couple Quicktime shots:

I was dying to try out the ~110fps, so that's why there are two slo-mo shots. Once I get my quickplate, get ready for some Oregon scenery.
Shots above were done with one of three lenses:
Zeiss ZF 28mm f/2, Zeiss ZF 50mm f/1.4, Zeiss ZF 100mm f/2 (macro)
The Nikon mount was a cinch to put on with the exception of having to tuck that data cable along the groove. That was a pain in the ass. But overall, the whole process was fairly easy. It looks like I'll need to adjust the backfocus just a smidge, but I know where the mark is on my lenses, so I decided to hold off for now.
Anyhoo, thanks to everyone at Red! You all rock! :)
