You shouldn't pay more than $5,000 for that Cooke. As far as comparing it to the RED 18-85, nobody knows yet. Wait a couple weeks...

 

[Vigen Vartanov]

Ok 8 500 EUR VS 10 000 USD . But but but
For my clients is better to get Cooke . They can trust this name . But it is SH , and also OLD . But for quality Cooke or RED ?

 

[Vigen Vartanov]

Everybody trying to sale Cooke now ? because of new RED 18-85 ?

The filmmaker's gang has a "certain" stile of thinking and he/she is already

"tracked" (identity, location, education, status, movement, etc,...)

by the "professional" and "private" security services in a couple of countries and continents.

And YES, the world is laughing now and has got even smaller for that sort of businesses.

.

The game is soon OVER.

Keep you very PERSONALY :matrix: informed about that.

Biba,

I have the Cooke 20-100mm as do many others. It is a proven lens.

Let's assume the Red lens is just as good. Keep in mind some say that the Cooke 20-100mm is close to the 18-100mm in image quality, so we are talking about it being equal to Cooke's current design.

What it comes down to is $9500 vs. $6000.

I am going to go with Cooke if I had to make this decision now.

Also, we don't know how the Red is going to render colors, warm like Cooke, cool like Zeiss? That might make up a lot of people's minds right there.

Personally, I like warm.

Jim.
Are you selling your cooke for 6000$?

Yes, but what of the 20-100mm for the asking price of $7500? Assume great condition, and immediate availability (whereas the Red 18-85mm could take months to receive).

Is it really so crazy to pay such a high dollar for this lens? 6 months ago, definitely, but now, in this market?

I have already been kicking myself repeatedly for holding off on buying a lens for my camera, which will ship any day now. Would I be kicking myself again for paying a premium on a lens this old, even if it's in great condition?

What I'm trying to get at, I think, is will the Cooke quality and look on my camera make it easier to live with knowing that I did pay a high price for something that could have gone for half this price a year ago?

Anyone?

 

[A. Clint Litton]

Of course, I would rather pay under $6000, but I'm very wary of buying from so many of the rental houses that seem to have this lens listed for sale, considering how much use they've had over the decades. In fact, many of the rental houses are asking above $7000 as well.

Does anyone know where I could rent a time machine?
