Curious, and don't take this the wrong way but...

If they were made after 1996, why do they say "Made in West Germany"?

Post 1996 Primes

Good question. My assertion stems from the fact that I bought a complete set of T2.1 primes from Arriflex in 1996 and they were NOT equipped with iris gears. They looked exactly like lenses I had bought in the 80's while in the rental business. So the iris gears are necessarily a later development.

As for the "West Germany" markings, well, people are slow to change, especially in manufacturing. Isn't that why RED is cleaning Sony's and Matsushita's clocks ?

Hey Charles,
Are you sure you didnt buy left over inventory in 1996. I thought they stopped making these years before. I could be way off...just curious though.

BTW- The lenses look beautiful...not too often that you see these with the geared iris ring.
