I just upgraded my RED V-Raptor to the new V-Raptor X version. So how's the shadow performance? I needed to know. Here's a very quick and dirty test for you to look at. In short, it still does VERY well.

By request, heres a bit of a breakdown of how I tend to shoot with the RED V-Raptor [X]. Come to think of it though, RED V-Raptor [X] is becoming a bit of a mouthful. Ive seen X-Raptor used as shorthand and I think I like that, but I worry it might be confusing. Any other suggestions? Just Raptor maybe?")

I bought a RED V-Raptor six months ago, then upgraded it to the new global-shutter X variant as soon as it was announced back in January. Here are my thoughts about why I bought it, how I like it, and whether Id buy it again today. As always, these are just my personal opinions, ramblings, observations, and emotions. Enjoy!")
