Somone at Cooke might slipped up with that press release! Red primes are fantastic news.

Does Anyone have seen (during the past days) the Jim's plane at the Leicester Airport?

Article quotes "Red lumina and prime lenses"

To me that says a "Lumina" (whatever that is, perhaps Red Branding) is not a prime lens, so could change "Zoom" for lumina, and get "Red Zoom and prime lenses."

I don't want to get my hopes up--it could just be describing the Red Zoom + the Red 300mm prime and ending that with a plural essentially saying "on both the Red Zoom and Red 300 prime lenses..."

They may not have slipped anything but the technology of using the lens recoding technology which, in and of itself, is good news.

I wonder if RED is going to go to similar product naming conventions to what Oakley has. Hehe... Right now it's all made out of unobtainium though. :matrix:

That's kinda how I took it. But then again, it's a pretty sure bet that we will be seeing more lens options from RED. It's really just a question of when.

Who makes the Red lenses ? We know it's not Oakley, and I would think the 14 full time Red employees have their hands full with other stuff. So we can assume the lenses are being sub contracted, and we know Red likes Cooke...

Food for thought,

Is there any official word from RED on which RED lenses will support Cooke i Technology? Is it only the primes?
