$1,000 obo and I will throw in Priority shipping & insurance in the U.S.

I've had this lens less than 2 months, and have only shot with it twice. The lens is in absolutely MINT condition. It still has more than 10 months on the warranty.

Selling because it's simply not wide enough for my upcoming projects. On Red One with an EF mount this would essentially be a T/1.4 38mm prime.

Tom, are you going for the 14? I was thinking of getting the 14 myself.

 

[Tom Lowe]

the 14 is a bad mofo, no doubt. but i'm still shooting aps-c now, so even that isn't wide enough for me.

"On Red One with an EF mount this would essentially be a T/1.4 38mm prime."

huh ??
on a Red one it would be a T1.4 24mm prime ...
perhaps you meant something else ??

 

[Tom Lowe]

donatello, sorry, I should have been more clear: On the Red One body, the EF 24mm f/1.4 has something close to a 1.6 crop factor, which makes it basically a 38mm prime on the Red One body. On a full-frame DSLR, yes, it's a 24mm.

Tom, I was the red tech and a camera operator who used the 10-22 with mike hedge on the burning man doc. That lens was pretty wide or do you still need to go wider than that?

Nightscape shooters like Tom and I wouldn't dare pick up a slow lens like an f/2.8 or (gasp!) f/4. I figure after selling this (and a few vehicles and vacation homes) he's going to pick up a Master Prime 14mm f/1.2.

Right, Tom?

I spoke with Hedge yesterday and he told me how awesome the 10-22 did. 95% of my shoots are the 10-22... I worship this lens. And I'm dying to see you guys' footage. In fact, I think I am going to be one of the editors.

HAHAHHAHAA!!!!!!!!!! I wish!

Tom,

you also should read this:

"The Red in 4k mode has a capture area roughly like a APS-C digital SLR. It's also pretty close to Academy 1.85 if you are used to 35mm motion picture formats.

A 50mm lens is always a 50mm lens and the physics of what it will do in a given situation remain the same regardless of the format you use it on.

This is why focal length multipliers lead to confusion and ultimately a sad, painful and miserable death."

"It depends on what you are basing the crop on. If a 24x36mm full frame dSLR sensor is the base, then the 22/24(ish)mm x 13/18(ish)mm sensor of the Red or an APS-C sized dSLR will have a 1.6x crop in field of view in comparison to the full frame dSLR.

Remember that 35mm film moves through a motion picture camera vertically, whereas it moves through a still camera horizontally. So, the motion picture 35mm frame is only half (or I suppose about 1.4/1.6x smaller measured diagonally)the size (24x18mm approx.) of stills 35mm (24x36mm). So the Red sensor is full frame for motion picture 35mm. If the motion picture standard is your basis for formulating a crop factor, then there is no crop. The FOV is the same on the Red as it would be on Motion picture 35mm

Look at the diagram on the right hand side of this page :

http://www.red.com/cameras/technology

Think of a particular focal length being a circle that is just larger than the green Full frame dSLR image at the top. Now if you move to a smaller sensor like the APS sized dSLRs or the Red, which are represented below, the circle that covered the full frame above is still exactly the same, as it is the same lens and same focal length, but since the sensor is smaller, you are just seeing a smaller portion cropped out of the full image circle.

If the original question was just whether you would be getting essentially the same FOV on the Red with a Nikon DX lens as you would on a smaller sensored DX camera, then the answer is yes, and I just explained more than I needed to : )"

Well I got one offer. Who wants to start a bidding war?

So, Tom, next time Canon tells you about the new lens they're coming out with, tell me about it instead of just selling your outdated version. ;-)

I couldn't be happier that Canon has decided to update my favorite lens! I wonder if they finally fixed the hood tightness.
