I appreciate that! I'll also repeat my standing offer: if anyone even remotely near Chicago has an FD-mounted 35mm adapter that they think doesn't vignette, and it's one I haven't tried before, let's get together with your adapter and my super-wide lenses and put it through its paces. For established adapter companies who have a new design they think won't vignette, I will gladly lend you any lens you want to test out, by mailing it to you. I am determined to do what it takes to find an adapter I can use... and I'm equally determined not to take it on faith this time that the problems can be sorted out through application of enough tweaking. I want to see it before I buy something.



Like I said, I'm weird that way. Vignetting is a huge pet peeve for me. But even if you like it, you'd want to add it in post like Top Gear (who use it to highlight stuff wherever it is in the frame), rather than having it be dead centered in every frame you shoot, I'd think.

the brevis with flip adapter doens't vignette on my fd 28 f/2.0 and I think is pretty darn good with my 24 f/28 . I haven't tried wider though.
 
I don't see why you just dont fix that in post Duncan.
I know you want a razor sharp image, but there is nothing in that run over field deal that cant be completly fixed post.

I shouldn't have to spend all my time fixing that in post - I don't need to photoshop my still pictures (after scanning them in) to fix any flaws. If I had a lens that exhibited that flaw on my still camera I would get rid of it and get a better lens. Same goes for 35mm adapters. (Which is not to minimize your cool post-fix for vignetting! Very handy. I would simply have to do that to *all* my footage and it doesn't seem worth it...)

I agree...you shouldn't have to fix it in post, that should be a last resort. And sorry Duncan, I was thinking you meant the 28mm...this thread got so long I forgot it was the 24mm!

As for the guy commenting on the 3 stops thing...I will have good proof for you when the time comes, which is independent of Redrock.
 
Keep goading me on for more info...I've already given more than I should have at this point:-)

I guess I assumed the announcement would be coming very soon, and I could elaborate! Sorry guys and gals! You'll have to wait a few more days!

OK! Ten questions:

1) Why were you given this product to play with?

2) What material is it mainly constructed from?

3) Does it have batteries?

4) Is it made in USA?

5) Did you use it with various cameras or just one?

6) Will it be more affordable as other products its competing with?

7) Will people buying a discounted RRM2 be all "gosh, should've waited!" mid January?

8) Should I hold off until this product is launched before buying an SG Blade?

9) Will you buy/get one?

10) Merry christmas and a happy new year!!!

:)

he's claiming three stops of sensitivity.

that's night vision like amplification. so a new GG won't give that much sensitivity.

either its a new camera. (possible... actually)
or, an ultra fast gg.... that has 100% transmission....
