Nikkor 50mm 1.2 on RED One

RED One w/ 50mm Nikkor f1.2 @2.8 with .9 ND & Hot Mirror - quick grade in Redcine-X, original export as Tiff, then to Photoshop CS5 for PNG - original resolution is 4460 X 1980 (RED 4.5K) with Redcode 36. Very happy with the footage - the lens resolves nicely across the entirety of the 4.5K field of the RED Sensor - the only real challenge with this glass is focus - it is so slight of a difference in physical feel between tack sharp in focus and muddy not even close focus at a 2.8 that I couldn't really burden an AC with trying to pull focus without first having them sign a sanity waiver - plus (as with all Nikon lenses) - they rotate the wrong way - so every focus pull takes twice as long to develop a sense for. Grr. Wish someone would get into the business of rehousing these lenses for cine ALL THE WAY - and charge a fair price for it - and attach an anamorphic front while they are at it! Now that wouldn't suck! - Nikkors with an anamorphic 2:1 front? Holy cow!

Actress is Emanuela Galliussi - Italian actress friend of mine that recently moved here from Rome. Check her out here:
