  • 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...

That is good. I-pin data is for lazy VFX guys :) Use a paper and a pen and problem solved. I rather have a sharp crisp and beautiful shoot from perfect optics, then electronic features.

Yeah, you're right. A Cooke S4 has such shitty optics. Hmmmm.
 
I must admit I was also surprised no i data, I was always under the assumption that all RED branded glass would feed data to the camera (eventually)...but if it meant making the lens 3 times the price for the i/data then it would not be worth it of course. So is i/data an 18-50 exclusive? Not trying to get off topic.
 
Didn't anyone take a photo at NAB? The lens looks the same on the outside.

The 50-150mm also has /i.

Just an updated correction (sorry) the External Diameter is 142mm... Changed from 139mm of the previous sample.

We are confirming internal threads, I will let you know shortly.
 
Will have to double-check the Redrock mattebox, but I think owners of that mattebox may need to get out the sandpaper. I think it's a 141mm bellows.
 
What size is the unit in Off Hollywood's hands? 142mm or 139mm OD? I didn't have a chance to measure this morning.

I've searched threads on this issue, but I'd just like to state my understanding of this issue so I can be corrected if I'm wrong:

Priority for shipping is based exclusively on my Red One serial number. So ordering today will get me the lens no sooner than ordering next week because the queue is based not on order date of the lens, but order date of the camera.

Thank you in advance.

We are re-visiting this internally... Brent will update you on the outcome.
 
After getting a LOT of customer feedback, we have talked about this a LOT here at RED and we are going to make an exception to the RED backorder fulfillment policy. This is a one-time deal for the 18-85. Here is how it will work:

* We will fulfill in order of RED 18-85 reservation number that was given when early orders were taken. Your receipt from that day should have a reservation number looking like 18Z-000### (or 000###).

* For all orders placed AFTER those reservation numbers ceased being assigned, the standard backorder policy will be in effect (ie, fulfilled in order of camera delivery date - one lens per camera).

* If you had a 18Z-000### (or 000###) reservation and switched that reservation to an 18-50 when we only had 18-50s available, we will honor your original 18-85 reservation number as your place in line.

* If you have a 18Z-000### 18-85 (or 000###) reservation number and have NOT taken delivery of your RED ONE, an 18-85 will NOT be allocated to you unless you take delivery of your RED ONE.

* If we notify you via email that your 18-85 is ready and you do not take delivery within 30 days, your 18-85 will be unallocated and go to the next person in line for allocation.

As most of you know, Brian Byrne is our BOMB SQUAD rep who handles backorders. He will be working with me and Kelly to get this allocation system set up with the above rules. Once it is set, Brian will start sending out emails. He is the person you will want to check with on backorder status. His email is brianb - at - red - dot - com .

Thanks for all the feedback that everyone provided. These changes are a direct reflection of us listening to and weighing your opinions.

PS, I will post here when the RED PRO 18-85 is listed in the online RED store.
 
:) 18-85 #380... Rock on!

So, can I transfer my #194 300mm reservation to the RED Pro 300? ...Just askin' :whistling:
