300mm RED PRO PRIME - It's here...

[Jarred Land]

Hey all... amidst all this chaos, I am glad to report that the first of our RED PRIMES has just landed, the new 300mm T2.9... both Imperial and Metric.

Should be in the store on Monday... $5,950

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

Now we're talkin' !!!

So, what kind of production rate can we expect on these? Is it going to be similar to the 18-85? Or better (hopefully)? Lenses delivered in order of camera ship date? AFAIK, no pre-orders for this lens were ever taken...

 

[Jarred Land]

it will be very similar to the 18-85 roll out at first.. we have about 40 imperial and a dozen metric in right now. Will go out in the order that the orders come in.

[Ketch Rossi]

Great!

Already love the RED 300 and can't wait to shoot with the RED Pro 300.

Jarred does it have the i-Pin Interface?

[Jeff Kieffer]

Hi,

S35mm or FF35 coverage?

Jeff

 

[C.H.Haskell]

Great news RED, not to get off topic but does this mean the zooms (18-85) are starting to ramp up if your able to focus on the new pro primes?

 

[JD Holloway]

Any talk of reworking the 18-50 and/or 50-150 avails?
Lenses are crazy important.

Also, the new pamphlet talks of a "proprietary" RED-mount. Why not just go with a PL mount with the necessary copper ball-dent Idata/power/control pins so we can go between common s35 lenses and new Red FF 35 lenses without a mount change?
Just thinking!

Is this first come... first serve?

 

[Michael Moreno]

hey jarred, awesome stuff lately, thanks for that.

Can you post a picture of the lens
i cant wait to get it.
i have a reserve on the 18-85
and then when i can im going to pick this thing up.
just want to see it before it sits on my desk and then on my red ; )
really helps to look at the pics of the 18-85 while i wait
and when i get it hopefully i can have a pic of the 300 pro to look at while i wait for that.

thanks

Do you have lenses in the works that cover 35mm still full-frame? Normal still lenses aren't going to cut it on your new large sensors.

Almost all 35mm still lenses (unless they are APS-X specific) cover full frame...
