Wow, there aren't many lenses left at red at all...

I was having a chat with a friend today and suggested he might look into some RED glass.

I knew the RPPs are no longer listed, but the stock of 17-50 and 18-85 seems to have dried out, too.

End of RED glass or birth of a new era?

hmmm. hadn't noticed that. good catch gunleik!

what does it mean? Double Rainbow all the way!

mmm... I just checked the online store, the zooms are still listed as in stock.

Yup.
But not many

I think it means there are 4 types of zooms available (18-85 metric, 18-85 imperial, 17-50 metric, 17-50 imperial), not quantity.

That is quite interesting, I must say I have gotten a LOT out of my RED lenses, and I am very happy with them.
Will be interesting to see what happens!

I think maybe not, as it says 2 imperial and 1 metric available for the 17-50, and 1 18mm and 1 300 for the refurbs...

I think Colin is right, it's the combination of lenses (metric/imperial and the actual lens) that make that "quantity" number. For example I just bought a battle tested 18mm lens (which i btw love), and the quantity number didn't drop.

You are correct the number refers to the types of lenses available in each category...
