All of this might sound cool and sure, revenge is sweet, but Apple going after RED is definitely not a good thing. Ed mentioned earlier that it’s the little guys that make a difference and I believe that’s true, but when we support an even bigger monster like Apple, it’s no longer worth it. Capitalism ultimately has a cruel sense of humor…
We'd probably aim for renting an URSA Mini 4.6k or RED. Cost is obviously an issue, but I'm going to tinker with ML a bit more to see if I can get the flickering to stop.
Does the ML anamorphic desqueeze options cause your screen to flicker/tear at all? We just started shooting anamorphic with our 5D3 and I don't think the on screen preview is usable because of the screen tearing we encounter. Trying to decide whether we should get a monitor to desqueeze or use a different camera.
I just picked up one of these, so I don't need another one, but it looks like a different seller has one up for sale.

I just picked up the other 67mm Pentax "1:3.5/85~210mm". I'll do some more precise tests after it arrives. I've accumulated quite a few diopters now and I want to test them all at the same time.
I just picked up a "For Super-Multi-Coated (S-M-C) Takumar-Zoom 85-210mm F4.5" diopter off this list. Doesn't seem to be an achromat and I don't think it's a +0.25. Looks to be more in the +0.3 or +0.4 range, but it was pretty soft compared to the +0.33 Minolta.
