  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

18-85 T2.9 RED zoom...

So, my serial number of 370 and that $750 deposit that I made on January 22, 2007 was for nothing?

Apparently so...

In most situations, I agree with the backorder policy of delivering in order of when people received their cameras. But I'm not so sure about that policy here. However, I'm not sure what fair would be. Lens deposits opened up after the initial 1000 or so camera reservations were already complete and they're probably mixed up.

To go along with my RED camera #1110, I had a reservation for a 300mm that was under #200 and an 18-85mm reservation under #400. But with the 300mm Pro being announced before my camera shipped and no 18-85 available yet, I just used my deposits toward my camera purchase. So what does that do to me?

I just hope the pending orders can be filled quickly and it doesn't turn into a wait like we saw with the EVF or the 50-150 lens. Personally, I'm undecided on the 18-85mm -- I loved the lens I saw at NAB. But I already own that Cooke 18-100... And I have most of my remaining RED budget already earmarked for that prime set.

shipping quantities

shipping quantities

Hey guys,

HOW MANY DO YOU EXPECT TO BE SHIPPING PER MONTH???????

I have a 50-150mm i have paid for and been waiting on for an eternity. I'm thinking to maybe change this for the 18-85, BUT...i need to know if i'm gonna be put back another eternity before it'll get to my number.

Please someone from RED, give us an answer.
 
Sorry for my ignorance.

I've not seen 18-85mm lens in Red store online.
 
Red guys,
as much as you have risks in telling us a delivery rate we have NO idea when we may get an item we wish to purchase and therefore have no idea when/if we should budget for it.
I suppose 'small quantities at 1st' ??....weeks, month, quarter?? is an answer to the first few reservation holders but not to the hundreds of others.
'don't know' or no response is another answer but suggests an early beta trial with no known production run date.I know you guys have been burnt stating release dates before but (please note) the whole let's get them salivating/tease stuff does cause a pretty good negative backlash nowdays.
i feel you need a slight correction on this policy. Production run quanties (?) may begin in xx month or maybe delayed by yy weeks/months/years if problems is a great answer!
Please help us help you sell Red products....
Cheers,
Dave,
 
any future plans to have i/data on 18-85 ??

"signed the contract on September 25, 2006 (two year anniversary tomorrow) for "Serial Number 18Z-000038"

hey i have #37 !!!
 
We aren't teasing David.. we are actually shipping and in full production run.

Although I am not very excited about the way you packaged your question, I do get your point and understand the need for a response.

The 18-85's are built one by one and it's a pretty time consuming process, we are hoping to ship about 50 per month.

No future plans to have i/data on the 18-85mm or the RED Primes.

Hope that answers your questions.
 
Thanks for the info.
Yes, your correct onthe way I packaged by post because I re-read it and thought...yeah it's a bit brutish and was going to add a postscript...but then realised the content was okay (very roughly!) and didn't know what to take out. but yes...delivery could have been better.
Dave.
 
OD is (corrected) 142mm...

Our compact zooms (18-50 and 50-150) have I-pin support.
