RPPs in NYC

[Mark L. Pederson]

Safe and sound in the Big Red Apple ...

[Greg M]

bastards

[A. Clint Litton]

That first pic is perfect, reflection of the Empire State Building says it all...these lenses are home.

That's the 25mm? That lens looks huge! Hopefully I can come by to see them in person some day soon. Thanks for your trailblazing ways, Mark (and Jim)!

Cheers,
Clint

[Frank Weeks]

Low life

Ps, loved your movie at reduser party. Funny stuff

[Greg M]

just noticed the size...holy cow!

off to the gym...

[Matthew Rogers]

Anyone else notice Mark's greasy thumbprint on the lens in the last picture?

I knew they were big, but wow bubba! Guess it won't seem like much of a size downgrade from my Cooke 20-60. At least they will be every so slightly lighter...

Matthew

[C.H.Haskell]

I am tempted to walk over and break down the door! Bravo on the new glass...look forward to seeing some results Mark! Cheers.

C

[Mitch Gross]

And I love the MMB-1 mattebox supported by the Abel Universal 19-15 adaptor hanging off the front!

Sorry, had to.

[C.H.Haskell]

Just could not help it could you Mitch...!

[Paul Hazlett]

you bastards!!! lens envy reaches a new high.

do you have details on length Mark?

and congrats!

[Rick Darge]

Frame grabs or it didn't happen Mark!

[michael zaletel]

It's not the size of the lens but the size of the envy that matters most. ;)

-shooter

[Greg M]

Frame grabs or it didn't happen Mark!


actually the closer I look, it appears like a cardboard cut-out of the RPP...I think Mark is pulling a fast one.

[M.Halsell]

He's busy. Will probably to need to wait for the next RPP early receiver.

[Rick Darge]

Oh c'mon! He had time to post several stills of the lens. You're telling me Mark can't go into Redalert and spit out a few TIFF files from what's he's shooting? You're killing us!

[Jaime Vallés]

Damn, that first shot is beautiful!

[Kwan Khan]

Mine... On the way

[M.Halsell]

Kwan, can we pencil you in for screen grabs or footage, once you receive delivery of RPP?

[Mike Prevette]

More pics!!!!


Also It looks like thye can focus past infinity, is that the case?

[Rick Darge]

Mark, your lens says T1.9, why is that? Demo?

[Shawn Nelson]

Mark, your lens says T1.9, why is that? Demo?

I'd have to guess pre-prod units, as Jim stated that shipping versions would correctly state "T1.8" on the scale

[Rick Darge]

Lucky dog

[DAVID McNAMARA]

Hey Mark,
Any chance of coming by to see the lenses? I ordered a set without ever touching them!
Let me know
David

[Mark L. Pederson]

David - come by after 2pm and shoot some stuff -

[Sanjin Jukic]

What about "Quick & Dirty" test footage, for example, focus in/out (breathing) at the direction of

Empire State Building, Chrysler Building (ouch!!! Chrysler to file for bankruptcy) or...

[DAVID McNAMARA]

David - come by after 2pm and shoot some stuff -

I would love to. I am a little jammed but will try to make it thanks again!
david

[Charles Nader]

If you can't post pics, how do you like???

Video would be great...too...Hint Hint!!!

Thanks and Congrats.

[PatC]

They are awesome.

[Eli Jarra]

bastards

I second that...! But you guys would be soooo cool if you would post a still using the 100... I can't wait for that sucker :thumbsup:

[David Wyatt]

Nice!! Quite MasterPrime-ish in size!!

[Jonas Rejman]

SAAMPLEEEEZ !!!
:crying:

... or ain't they that good, huh ?
:cool:

[Jason Diamond]

Ours should be arriving any day and will be also available for rentals and test shoots. congrats to mark for the set, we look forward to a wild west shootout!!! :)

[Pawel Achtel]

My is bigger :prrr:

[DAVID McNAMARA]

I absoluteley agree. I was able to look at them for a half hour the other day at Off Holywood. They look and feel like s4's mechanically. didn't have time to shoot anything but put them up on a camera and was blown away!!! I brought two other DP's with me and they had the same reacton!

[I Bloom]

David, how far around is the rotation of the focus barrel from minimum focus to infinity?

IBloom

[Steve Gal]

We will have our RPP's soon as well.

[Vladimir Eugene]

We will have our RPP's soon as well.


Good news Steve, It was very cool hanging out with you in Vegas. How about some of those pictures?

[Steve Gal]

Hey Vladimir. Definitely great hanging out with you. I had a great time. You want me to post those? I posted a few others in another post.

[Vladimir Eugene]

maybe not:) but I would love to see them. Can you send them to me veugene@gmail.com

[C.H.Haskell]

The lenses do, or do not have ipin data?

[Manuel Wenger]

no i-Data on the Red Primes.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I want my RPP's...

[Mike Prevette]

I want my RPP's. . .

$1,900 deposit and I don't even get any good product shots to drool over.

[A. Järvinen]

Also It looks like thye can focus past infinity, is that the case?
Probably stupid question but why would someone want to focus past infinity if the focus scale is calibrated (and the mount is collimated properly)?

Best regards,
A. Järvinen

[Mike Prevette]

Usually in longer lenses to take into account Heat expansion of the lens, and on some older zooms to allow you to compensate for miss aligned internals.

[Jeff Kilgroe]

So can someone @ OffHollywood or anyone else who has received the lenses so far actually give us a detailed review?

I'd really like to know more about the "unit focus" on the 50mm and longer models. Does the front element of the lens move on the non-IF focal lengths?

[chuck colburn]

Probably stupid question but why would someone want to focus past infinity if the focus scale is calibrated (and the mount is collimated properly)?

Best regards,
A. Järvinen

Lots of operators liked their lens to pass infinity. It gave them a feeling that they had for sure hit the inf. mark. And as Mike said on the longer lenses it compensated for the thermal expansion of the long lens barrles.

[Shawn Nelson]

so uh Mark...where's the screen caps man? :-)

[Mark L. Pederson]

so uh Mark...where's the screen caps man? :-)

tomorrow.

[Sam Druckerman]

tomorrow.

Great, can't wait :)

[Mark L. Pederson]

Great, can't wait :)

crappy weather today - so I don't know how exciting it will be - but I'll jump out of the shop in the late afternoon and shoot some "Soho on a gray, rainy day" -

[Rick Darge]

Doesn't Offhollywood own weather machines yet?

[Zakaree Sandberg]

which lens is the 2.8?

[Zakaree Sandberg]

NM! i forgot that these lenses have a collar on them, which was probably hiding the rest

[Mike Prevette]

Can any one please just post some nice hires shots of these lenses from a few angles? I can't wait for mine.

Also while I'm at it I'd love to see some out of focus shots, both Wide open and stopped down.

[Jonathan Price]

Moving from TV production into Cinema for theater projection and would like to meet a red cam user/owner to see the camera and discuss post production workflows. Any chance of meeting whilst I'm in NYC.

[Sam Druckerman]

You're the same Zakaree that worked at RED back in the day right?

[Zakaree Sandberg]

You're the same Zakaree that worked at RED back in the day right?

yes.. and your right brunette...
but for guys, isnt it just brown? brunette sounds feminine..
and I get how I can be mistaken as feminine.. just look at my costume I made (BY HAND) for an 80s party the other night....

I will post something over the weekend - I'm doing my best - TONS of stuff happening VERY quickly here - multiple films wrapping and prepping at the same time - but I will post something fun soon ...

[donatello b]

"You want them without her?"

yes, want my wife in those boots !!

[Alan Skinner]

Donatello is either madly in love with his Wife (like me... mine, not his :) ) or, his Wife reads his posts on reduser!

Same name dilemma? After thinking I had a not so common name (Michael Halsell). Get this -- Junior year of college, I and another gentlemen that shared the same first and last name AND he lived right across the hallway! Needless to say, postal mail and girls were an issue.

[Mark Pedersen]

[Mitch Gross]

Do you guys realize that we alternatively refer to BOTH of you as "the other Mark Pedersen" here at Abel depending on who we've been dealing with more at any given time?

[Shawn Nelson]

Do you guys realize that we alternatively refer to BOTH of you as "the other Mark Pedersen" here at Abel depending on who we've been dealing with more at any given time?

Or just awkwardly emphasize the spelling

"Were you dealing with Mark Peder-SEN or Peder-SON"?

Ah Danish vs Anglicization of spelling, just like I should actually be Neilsen instead of Nelson.

[Mitch Gross]

I tried going with East Coast Mark and West Coast Mark but then it sounded like it was a rapper feud.

Hey Shawn, if a you're Dane, be proud of that "SEN"! I am. My brother married into Neilsens from Minnesota. Good folks!

You can pretty much always identify a Dane by the "SEN".

Seems the Swedes went for the "SON"...

M

[Shawn Nelson]

Normally I'd call this thread jacking but since there's no actual footage being posted...

Indeed I am a Dane, but it was my g-g-grandpa who changed it from Neilsen to Nelson. I've considered changing it back but i'd have to change it for myself, my wife and my kids (too much hassle at this point). Though interestingly I kept in the same end of swimming pool and married a Chriestenson (Ellis island bastardization of Christensen).

So hmm, how to bring this back...

Mark Pederson, king of the east coast, can you film some Danish chicks with the new RPPs? :thumbsup:

[Shawn Nelson]

lol, though a name change might be good for my uniqueness in the industry. A quick search of IMDB shows there are 10 "Shawn Nelson"s in the registry (of which I am VII), but zero entries for "Shawn Neilsen"

Hey Mark ... for the record - I'm of Danish and Norwegian descent. Back in the family tree it was "sen" - then somewhere in the line - "sen" was changed to "son". Also, my parents met at Mankato State University in Minnesota. My middle name is Lee - named after my grandfather - Lee Littlefield from Eltkon, MN - one of the greatest men I ever knew.

And I married a Swede - in addition to having an ex-wife who is also Swedish. So ... seems the "SON" went for the Swedes!

Well, never met a Scandinavian I didn't like :)

For the record, my middle name is Lester after an Uncle that died when he was 2 from an acute appendicitis. OK, not sexy.

But speaking of sexy, about the babe on the roof.... clearly not Scandinavian ;)

She's from the Ukraine. Just turned 20.

Hey Shawn,

your Danish surname would be "Nielsen" here in Denmark. meaning Son of Niels. - ( you wrote Neils):)

Tak for kaffe!

Okay ... okay ... just handed the footage off to a staff member to edit -

[I Bloom]

I just checked out Marks RPP's yesterday.

I'm really impressed, I was expecting alot less considering the price. Now I can't really understand why you would rent or buy Ultra Primes by comparison.

I find this hard to believe but, I am definitely a skeptic, I'm just not seeing the disadvantages yet.

:-D ah yeah!

[Mitch Gross]

To be fair, there are a lot of qualities to the Ultra Primes. I'm sure the SALT will have some interesting results. From our testing the UPs excellent resolution, contrast and color accuracy. And on a basic practical standpoint, there is a far greater range of focal lengths available, including many wide angles (the RPPs currently stop at 25mm).

It's great to be excited about new glass, but the current standys are great as well.

No I absolutely agree, and keep in mind, my impressions are without thorough testing.
I was thinking about it on the train today and obviously focal lengths are a real consideration for some shows. Another big consideration, for someone like me considering investing, is how the mechanics stand the test of time. Very hard to determine that. Cookes have a very distinctive bouquet for example, and that's something important to me as well. Buut...

But basically when you consider price (And always with Red is has been Price/Performance) it's hard to see the disadvantages. That's all I'm saying.

I am surprised.

[Shawn Nelson]

Exactly! I want my RPPs to last 20 years. I asked Jim about that and he seemed to think they would. Also, he said they designed them for economical repair, being of an internal modular design (as he described to me at NAB)

[Mark L. Pederson]

currently is just a fleeting moment ....

[Shawn Nelson]

Mark, what are your thoughts on long term viability/usefulness of RPPs if Red is about to do a FF35 push beginning of next year? Their Monstro is only sized for FF. And yes I know about cropping, but it seems they want to drive the market to FF

I think most folks will be cropping on the FF35 unless LOTS of new lens choices appear really fast. I expect to be shooting with RPPs for long, long time. And if I am pleasantly surprised by a bunch of FF35 lens choices in the near future ... I'm sure I'll be happy I'm not stuck making lease payments on S4s.

[Scott C.]

... it seems they want to drive the market to FF
Do you think? Or are they adding FF sensors simply as a part of the DSMC puzzle?
My interest in a Scarlet FF35 over the S35 is strictly about having my Canon lenses behave in the manner to which I have long been accustomed. I bought a cropped DSLR when they were new, and would never choose to go back to one.

I feel you are right with your answer. Otherwise Red would have come out with FF35 lenses instead of the Pro Primes. I believe most people will shoot 5k or 4.5k with professional cine glass which they already know and love.

I totally agree: light-loss and depth of field are issues that make fullframe a difficult format for cinema. More than 5K sounds awesome but comes at a price.

I don't want to run off with Mark's thread but what is this all about? Coming from video I thought a full 35mm sensor and cine glass was kind of the holy grail for digital cinema.

Thanks mark for the footage.

"For Sanjin" haha.. :)

Thank you for sharing, Mark! Looks like it was a fun "test" of the RPPs.

[Mark Pedersen]

Shawn, could you elaborate on what he told you? Or Jim? I know UPs are designed to be easily serviced, I was wondering how the RPPs compare in that regard.

M

[Jarred Land]

Shawn is correct.. the RPP's have a cellular mechanical design that will accelerate repair time tremendously.

We are targeting a 48 hour turn around instead of the normal 2 weeks... This is an important piece to the puzzle that was important ( at least to us) as we know if one lens goes down that means that for some people the whole set is put on the shelf till it gets fixed.

[I Bloom]

Cellular mechanical?

Is this another phrase for interchangable parts or sections that can be replaced easily?

IBloom

[Jarred Land]

Thats correct Ian...

one more step on the modular design chain i'm assuming. makes sense if it can be achieved efficiently without affecting quality/functionality. which it seems (until i get my hands on some ;)) has been accomplished.

Cellular mechanical?

I'd still like to know where I can obtain some unobtanium... :sifone:

Thats correct Ian...

That's a relief.
I was thinking either a new kind of Terminator or a really old school mobile phone. :beer:

It's a bit remind me on time when I was in SoHo NYC about 9 years ago.

I lived there in a close neighborhood or around the corner of that block from where are today

Offhollywood headquarters: 580 Broadway, New York, NY 10012>>> (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=580+Broadway++New+York,+NY+10012&sll=37.649034,-95.712891&sspn=65.511144,103.447266&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A%3E)

My address was at 132 Crosby St., NY 10012>>> (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=132+Crosby+St.,+New+York,+NY+10012&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=65.900117,103.447266&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=17&iwloc=A)

that is the next street parallel to Broadway at direction to East Houston St.

After some digging in my tape archive I found a little documentary footage that I shot on Sony HandyCam and tell you more how was there about nine years ago: LINK>>> (http://homepage.mac.com/sanjinjukic/RED/My_NYC_Project2000_05.mov)

One more thing:

RED Pro Primes are probably the best valued cine lenses for the price and performance at the market today, no doubts.

But I'm still using "dogs" especially for handheld and here is the latest shot from yesterday: LINK>>> (http://www.reduser.net/forum/showpost.php?p=428724&postcount=18)

I enjoyed the video as well. Now if you could just edit out those brief moments of looking at those pesky lenses then it would be perfect.
