An Epic or Scarlet (Or RED One) does not have a mechanical shutter, so there are no shutter actuation's at all.

Have you tried any of the new L telephoto zooms? They're all parfocal and work very nicely. Save for the medium range zooms like the 24-70 and wider, which aren't parfocal at all, the 70-200 range of...

I jumped the gun too quick... looks like it's not actually in a two touch rehousing since there's a gap between the middle focus ring and the iris ring, indicating it still slides along. Still, it's...

Right now as it stands I don't think it's going to be a hugely popular choice for shooting video with as the focus throw is hilariously short, however, from my preliminary examination there seems to...

No, RPP's are definitely not 'repackaged' Cooke glass.

I think that rumor started when people saw the 'Made in the UK' engraving on the lenses and thought they were made by Cooke.

Worked on them at Sim Video while I was there. Sharp, clinical, decent for average use. We did have issues with them though as mechanically they're not the best for rentals. They weren't that popular...

I've got a brand new converted EOS Contax 24-85 N on the way. From what I've seen, it's essentially a revised version of the 28-85 but two touch, wider and corrected CA and distortion issues. I'll...

If you don't have access to different kinds of glass, watch a film that you like visually, do a little research into what glass was used and look up other examples of films shot with them. Different...

I think it's best to formulate your own decision of what good glass is. Duclos and other sources can only tell you how good a lens is statistically and by using numbers. Not to say these aren't good...

Is a Rolleiflex really that expensive that hipsters have to procure something out of cardboard and launch a kickstarter to fund it?

Seriously, what has this world come to?

Scarlet. ;)

Ditto. That was a strange encounter that turned out to be a pleasant experience! Definitely do give either Bob or I a shout if you're close to us!

Ah shoot, Bob Gundu and I were there from Toronto and we saw whole bunch of REDUSER's there, too bad we missed ya! Oh and the party was nothing special really, we just had a few beers and schmoozed....

I'd bet if you brought it to NAB next year he'd gladly sign it for you! :)

You have to look online, it's a bit of a rare lens but totally worth it if you can find one. Try eBay, that's where I got mine.

If you don't want to break the bank and still want a very nice capable zoom, go for the Canon 80-200 2.8 L. I posted a review here:...

Jarred will emerge from the flaming wreck naked holding the dragon and a whole host of footage. Scratch the naked part since only Emilia Clarke can really pull it off but I'm super pumped...

The housing does not rotate as it's fixed onto the rear of the lens (The part that doesn't rotate). It would be quite silly if the whole thing rotated don't you think? :P

I think it will just be a matter of time until they do Leica R as well.

Cinematics makes a sleeve for Contax lenses. While I was at NAB, I checked out the 135mm F2.8 of theirs that had the front end mod installed. Very sturdy and well built. I'd give them an email and...

A little heavy on the distortion side for my tastes, but I'm glad that Sigma has pumped out a high speed zoom, proving it can be done and for cheap. Hope other manufacturers follow suit. Everyone...

Kirk, thanks for the review.

I was looking at the GLOptics rehousing a while back and was very interested until I heard how heavy they became after the rehousing. One of the main perks of the...

Blasphemy I tell you, blasphemy!!!

Two very different cameras with very different purposes. I can see the BMPC being a GoPro/Crash cam killer. As for being a professional workhorse camera like the Scarlet is, it's not in the same...

30Hz at 4K? No thanks... I'll wait a while.
