The following is listed on eBay with a minimum bid of $27,500, however, lower bids in that neighborhood will be considered from REDusers.
Zeiss 35mm Format Super Speed Lens Set in PL Mount T1.4:
18mm T1.4 Min. Focus = 10”
25mm T1.4 Min. Focus = 10”
35mm T1.4 Min. Focus = 14”
50mm T1.4 Min. Focus = 2.5’
85mm T1.4 Min. Focus = 3.5
These lenses have been cherry picked to make up this set, and are in very good condition. I am a Cinematographer, and not a lens dealer, but as an early RED One camera owner I started buying up lenses to make sure I would have enough to cover my needs. I now have more than I can use, and I don’t want to be in the rental business. I bought several sets, and only kept the cleaner lenses to make up this package.
They have had a long life and were originally sold with B-mounts. However, each lens has been converted with it’s own top quality hard mounted PL adapter. They have also had focus gears and 80mm fronts installed to make them uniformly compatible with ARRI standards. They were used on three features with excellent results, and have subsequently been tuned up by Lens Guru, Stuart Radin of Focus Optics. By way of full disclosure, I will mention slight cleaning marks on the front elements of the 25mm and 35mm, but they are minor and don’t seem to affect the picture quality. Footage markings are in feet only. This package includes an “Anvil-Style” Innerspace fitted case.
There are sample photos on eBay, but I have many more, which I can e-mail to serious buyers. Due to bad experiences I have had with export taxes, I am not interested in shipping out of the US. To the best of my knowledge, these lenses are in good working order, but they are used and sold in AS IS condition. I encourage potential buyers to make an inspection in person, and/or I will also be happy to deliver them to a lens expert in the Los Angeles area for evaluation at the Buyer’s expense. Send a PM, or better yet, e-mail me at Mathers at DigitalCinemaSociety dot ORG
