We spent yesterday evening shooting Red tests with on a Zeiss 25mm Superspeed lens. Um. Wow.

1K Clip, 4K frame. Exposed at ASA 320, T1.3. I didn’t quite get the focus (it’s hard at T1.3), and the framing isn’t great (trying to maneuver a Red while sitting in the passenger seat of a Honda Civic is not recommended). But that shot is lit with nothing more than the car’s interior roof light, and it’s fine. There’s actually even a little more in the blacks; I crushed them a bit because it looks better. (Of course, they got slightly brighter in the linked QuickTime file; whacky QuickTime gamma issues strike again.)
We’ve got more from yesterday’s testing. I’d post it now, but transcoding it would tie up my MacBook Pro all night. I’ll probably have a bunch of it up tomorrow, though; we’re expecting a package from Apple which should solve that problem once and for all.
