Hi, I was originally going to send an email, but thought I would post this publicly here instead. I wasn’t able to find this on the forum, so here it goes.
I have a set of Canon RF camera/lenses, and one of the products I would like to eventually get is a box cinema camera so I can have a proper dedicated video camera with interchangeable lenses. I COULD use it for video, but the options on it are very limited, and require a lot of additions that make unwieldy.
This is why I like the idea of eventually getting the Pyxis 6K. When it was announced earlier last year, my state of mind was already ready for it. I immediately fell in love with the concept and decided it’s my favorite concept right now. My problem with this is going to be that I don’t really have any lenses that would fit any of the bodies in this line (except a 150-600mm, not really optimal.) Having to get a full trinity of EF or PL or L-mount lenses would set me back thousands of dollars. EF Lens availability is starting to become a serious issue. I don’t know how much longer they are going to be made any more. I would still be tempted to go L-mount body, but id prefer to stay away from L-mount lenses if I can; and then again same issue for EF on L-mount body, EF Lens availability. No matter what I go with, I am going to have to get another set of lenses.
Then there’s the issue of image stabilization. I also really want to be able to use the lens stabilization feature, and a lot of the lenses out there don’t have it. For the options that I’m looking at and what im trying to do, Canon EF/RF seems to be better in this regard. Sigma doesn’t do well on E-mount/L-mount stabilization availability. Going with RF would directly bypass this problem for me.
RED makes a canon RF mount body, they cost $5000, they are S35, and I was hoping to get a full frame body. The Pyxis just has so much more of a value proposition.
So the question/request in this post is this, when could we reasonably expect that an RF mount version of the Pyxis 6K come out, if ever? I understand there could be issues like IP/patents, but if patents are an issue, why is RED be able to make it but not BMD? If its an issue of engineering, I understand. Its probably going to be a while before I'll be able to get something like this anyways. As of this moment, I haven't seen any serious indicators that BMD will have RF in the short term. Who knows, maybe you are working on it but not able to say anything right now. I just wanted to say something to someone so its at least considered. I'll give a shout out for Sony E-mount too, for anyone thats invested in sony lenses.
If anyone has information to provide on this, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your consideration.
