Purchasing Red Lenses

Hello

I am an amateur and am very interested in purchasing red lenses, can anyone help me and tell me where to buy them from, as you can see I am a novice at this.

can anyone give me any help and advise as to what to purchase

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

what do you need to shoot?

Michelle, I'm not so sure the Red is a good camera for an amateur. Do not buy lenses unless you have a lot of money to throw away. Do you plan on making your money back by working, renting? Just the nature of your question makes me worried.

Not knowing where to get RED lenses speaks volumes - you should probably not purchase... RENT.

If you're planning on renting them out, do you know anything about lenses?

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Yes.

Unless of course the situation is something along the lines that you are shooting a nice big project and are currently only poking around before you have your DoP come help you decide where to invest your thousands upon thousands, upon thousands, of dollars.

Many of the people who have RED ONE's for rent will also have RED lenses available. Check this section for someone located near you:

Not too many people will want to rent lenses without a camera though. Same goes for many rental houses.

Is it Michelle Pootle or Michelle Cook? Is this one of those Dharma initiation videos, or did you get married in the course of three days?

Agree with the others. Cine lenses are a huge investment. A safer bet would be to start out with cheaper Nikon or Canon SLR lenses with a specialty mount.
