  • 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...

and we have BIG ears here ...

(scene from yesterday shoot for a theater commercial, quicktime proxie)

That's a bummer.

Has much changed on the lens since NAB?

There was never, ever any plan to have i/pin support on the 18-85mm or the Primes...

The 18-85 internally however has changed quite a bit, the performance has been significantly improved, the foot marks are more accurate.. plus a few other cosmetic changes.
 
So Cooke will have the only "pro lenses" with i/pin support useable with the RED ONE? (I'm vastly paraphrasing)....

I want to buy a lens for my new camera, but in my budget at the moment, what's the best a guy can do?

Any ideas? I guess you can't go wrong for the money with the original RED 18-50mm zoom? Put your order in for this 18-85 honking baby,.... and rent when you need others. FIN?!...
 
Breathing

Breathing

My only question...and this pertains to why we haven't ordered the lens yet.

Has the breathing been taken care of? The breathing on the 18-50 is so bad its to the point of being unusable for many of our applications. If the new lens doesn't breath as much I'll order a few today.

Sincerely,
Michael Siegelman
 
guys - I am going to post pics in a few hours - I'm doing ten things at once today - and footage over the weekend - but I'll tell you this - this lens is SERIOUS ... I am extremely impressed!

I will order more.

RED needs to band this, and the forthcoming primes as PRO - as our biggest challenge is going to be making sure folks know this is NOT in the ballpark of the 18-50. TOTALY different animal.
 
Mark came by the office today to show me the lens for a few minutes. Didn't have time to do anything more than look at it cosmetically; we'll see if there's a chance to bench test it next week (if we can pry it from Mark's hands for a few minutes!). But it is definitely in a different league from the small RED zooms. I hooked Mark up with some sweet accessories that I'm sure he'll post about soon enough, or at least as soon as I let him! ;-) It's definitely a sexy setup.

Sorry if this has been covered...How much does this bad boy weigh?
 
Will be curious how it holds to ultra or master prime lenses
