Recommendations for Old/Vintage Lenses

[Vern Moen]

I have a RED One and I'm looking for some old lenses. I've used the Cooke Pancros and they seem fantastic. I suppose I'm just waiting for a set to land in my lap.

Are there any other out there that anyone can recommend? I like grit and grain.

Thank you everyone.

Check out Ebay for some Russian lenses that have been adapted and modified. Just type in Red One Lenses and stuff will come up.

For flare, the Lomos for sure - many are pretty beaten up, but the flares can be beautiful. Especially the anamorphics.

For grit, you might want to take a look at the Zeiss MkI 1.4 super speeds - they have a funky triangular bokeh and a sort of sandy feel - contrasty, gritty, but still pleasing. Worth a look IMO.
