  • 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 :)

Announcing the Rebel lenses

Should be lower tax if you're not importing them, no? Or am I just not up to speed on how taxes are working in Germany these days?

all stuff that get`s imported get a tax (varies on the good) plus 19% VAT, for German made stuff it`s "just" 19% VAT

hilarious story: me and my brother won (!!) some pocket wizards last year and had to pay (!!!) 100 euro tax for them (of which we got 20 bucks back)...

- At the end a big surprise with something like a Leica PL prime set

15mm, 19mm, 21mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 60mm, 75mm. 90mm, 100mm, 135mm, 180mm, 280mm, 400mm, 800mm (FF35), price about USD 95.000

Leica?? Where did you hear that?
 
Why the sheep?

Why the sheep?

The thing that strikes me with all these new prime sets is that (almost?) nobody is addressing the really wide and the longer than 100mm ranges. So we have lots of choice between 18mm-85mm but thin on the ground on the short and longish end.

If there is a lens maker/modifier listening, how about some 10mm, 14mm, 135mm, 180mm fast primes? Have the field to yourself! (see that, segue back to the sheep thing in the subject. I'm a comic genius:))

These look interesting. They list a T2 12-28. First out; a 14mm T1.8.

Anybody know about these?

THESE were the lenses I was most excited about! First class gear. The Rebels were sort of an "Oh yeah, we're thinking about doing these too" but the Supreme series is, well, supreme.

In our booth, starting Monday.

I must say I appreciate your honesty Mitch. Most companies representing a product wouldn't admit to what you just implied.

Do we know what the pricing on the Supreme series is yet?

I know for a fact that BandPro might be saying a price for the Zeiss Compact Primes, but Zeiss itself has not yet decided.

WTF? YOU know for a fact? I don't set the price. Keep in mind that we partnered with Zeiss on the development of the DigiPrimes and DigiZooms so my relationship with them is a bit more involved than a reseller who sells everything. We tend to specialize. Mitch, I for one would appreciate it if you would keep Band Pro out of your self promoting posts.:angry:
 
I love it here. Feel the passion. This is what it's all about.

Didn't one of you guys eat some hat cake in the RED tent one year at NAB? I can't remember which of you it was. I say this year you both have a mud wrestling match at the Palms. I'll double down.

That was Geoff Boyle from CML.

Evin, I think the reference was Mitch's eating his Fedora Cake because he said he'd eat his hat if Red delivered a working camera by that NAB, if my pre-NAB fogged memory serves me correctly.

Hey there has to be some comic relief otherwise what's the point :-)
 
Jarred Land said:
We start shipping next week... First sets as usual go to our very early adopters (as usual)
Click to expand...

Hey Jarred, I heard a rumor that after you deliver the prime sets to the early orders...that RED will ask RED owners 1st if they want a set before going to general public? Is this so...:)
 
I'd just like to point out that we wouldn't be seeing all these great options for lenses were it not for the Red One. As for pricing, there will be some downward pressure on all these options, I'd expect.

I agree, I've been asking for a 10 or 12 for a couple of years. We are moving to the Birger/Canon solution for our underwater systems - anyone interested in my Arri/Zeiss 10mm T2.1 in the meantime?
 
Sorry guys, might be a dumb question. but does anyone find the datail or the focus to drop off a bit on the edges?

In the end it's all about how you can service your lenses. From my experience owning quite a few lenses it's all about service. The lenses that gives you the least grief and that can (if necessary) be serviced by your closest lens technician WINS!

Now if all these have simple design and therefor can be serviced then it seems to me like Illumina, Compact and Supreme will be fighting against each other. All with different specifications that is of great interest.

Illumina for price amount of lenses and speed. Compact for FF and of course the knowledge of them being Zeiss built lenses (but they're slow). I will most probably buy them for FF stuff and keep my other lenses for S35. As for Supreme I don't know but they seem interesting and it will be a lot of fun hearing about them.

Now for the serious stuff. I just heard a little bird whisper that RED primes can and will only be service by RED. That is to me a little of a deal killer. Not saying RED don't have great customer service, but the amount of times you need small tweaks on lenses and the amount of them that will be out there. Do they have staff enough for that?

Actually "others" where telling people NOT TO BUY about to close sales - THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MATTER!

Especially not when in the end it showed to be very average lenses:thumbsup:
