Good news...

[Jannard]

The RED Pro Prime set is getting close to delivery... and we were more successful than expected on final production figures so, of course, we will pass the savings on to our customers. More details soon.

The lenses, as Mark pointed out, are all-world quality. We are very proud parents.

Very good to hear! I can't wait to check them out.

 

[jimhare]

I love good news!

Thanks for this Jim and Red, very excited!

Any thoughts on production numbers and how long it will take to make 3000 sets to feed us! ;-)

Congrats,

Jim

The lenses ... are all-world quality.

Wow - those are some serious fighting words. Watch out world. :biggrin:

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

[Andrew Martin]

Cooooool. Cant wait.

[Tico Llaurador]

The plot thickens!

 

[Bérenger Brillante]

Sweeet,

How do we deal with (last year) reservation list ? will there be enough set for sale ? Demand should be huge, I guess....

 

[Joshua Brown]

Oh yeah, I'm really excited to hear this price now!

Well ... I'll be at the Reduser event at NAB ... and if these ship in time ... I'll be sure to have one of my sets with me ... :wink:

 

[Curran Giddens]

Crap!

And here I was planning on skipping the primes to help save for the FF35 Electronic lenses.

oh:

 

[RedMagent]

Jim, will there be any place at NAB to check them out? Congrats, and thanks for everything!!!!

"Ship on time" for Mark L Pederson shouldn't be a problem , now what point after that point that they ship for everyone else is the real question :wink:

EDIT: Just teasing!

GREAT news Jim! I won't venture to guess the savings, lest people pounce on me, but that's truly awesome that you'd pass on the savings. That could tip a lot of people towards buying them

I hate to be the broken record... but how does this effect/push up the delivery of the 18mm?

Dont you mean the 15-18? That short zoom render I saw looked pretty sick

More pressure on MK I, II, III used prices... safe to say after mark's report, the used lens bubble, like the real estate bubble, is about to burst...

 

[Evin Grant]

AFAIK that's a new Red mount lens no? And it's T2.8, which isn't shabby but the 18mm T1.8 Red prime is a must.

Don't expect the lens bubble to burst quite yet, it will deflate a bit but good glass will always command a price. I'd expect the Zeiss lenses to command a premium based on name and reputation alone.

Shawn, that was one of the FF35 Electronic lenses. The ones that I was planning on holding out for. Just like I was planning on holding out for the FF35 Epic. But then Jim had to go and offer free modules for the Epic-X, and incredibly generous pricing on the PL Primes. Now my plans are all screwed up!

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Good news, indeed.

Hopefully that 18mm isn't too far behind and that 14mm is in the works...
