Latest RED EPIC-W PLUS Helium 8K large sensor digital film camera complete with OFFHOLLYWOOD Command RT integrated module for additional functionality.

This combination effectively turns a RED EPIC-W 8K camera into an EPIC-W PLUS with built-in WLCS receiver and lockit box, similar to Alexa PLUS.

Read VMI's article: WLCS Systems, All you need to know to explore the question of how to choose between the various systems and to introduce the range of WLCS systems which VMI arguably considers the best in their field and explain why we think that they work very well in given scenarios.

Lenses

Cooke S2/S3 Speed Panchro 5 lens vintage prime T2.3-2.8 PL remounted lens set - 18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 50mm, 75mm

These classic lenses have been remounted by TLS.

It is important to acknowledge however for anyone not familiar with these lenses is that they are 40+ year old glass (in modern housings) so obviously they have their own quirks (which is the magic of them).  For instance the glass in all the 75mm lenses from this series have all yellowed with age, so you need to adjust white balance or filter appropriately.
