Everything you wanted to know about the EPIC Canon Mount

[Kaku Ito]

I traded all of my F4 zoom L lenses for the 28-300mm. I will post some clips later on my Facebook account.

I got this lens but found out the iris does not stay on Epic when you use the zoom. I tried the lens at the store with a Canon body, when I set the iris to the F5.6 then by working the focal length to 300mm to 28mm, the iris stayed constant at F5.6. Do the same with the Epic, the F-stop moves while moving the zoom. Would RED be able to work the iris the same way as Canon in the future?

Can I request that the Sigms 18-50 lens be supported soon? I would love to use this for my literal walk around / stedicam lens but right now I can't control the Iris. Thanks!

Hi,
the autofocus don't work with the firmware 3.3.4 and the poor Canon 50 mm f 1.8, (but it's OK with the "old" firmware 3.3.3).
...so, the scarlet-x crash when I press the AF button... :-(

Even so Zooms, well, some of them at list, like the case of the latest edition of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS, the primes will always be the Best.

So if you are looking at which is the best lens, as in which one has the best image quality, then always look at Primes never at Zooms, if looking at which lens is the most versatile and best for a specific type of work, then look at Zooms, but the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L will actually be the best zoom, also the most used and versatile zoom in the entire Canon line up ever, just wait for the V2 to come out... You'll agree... ;)


The 24-70 is not just about what it gives as far as focal, but the particular look it gives, a unique lens on its own.

The 24-70 is a great versatile lens. If I was forced to choose only one lens to be stuck with for the rest of my life that would probably be it.

Wait till you test the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II and then you'll reinforced your statement... ;)

Completely agree.

The last film I shot, was 90% on that lens.

Hey guys we just got the titanium mount, i'm sure this has been answered, but do you need lens support with this 70-200? It feels rock solid, I don't notice any bowing or anything. I've heard that you do with the Aluminum one.

[Frazier Nivens]

Rock solid on my titanium mount with 70-200 Canon.
