First look at Red Pro Primes in TO

[Michael Lindsay]

If we end up putting lens support on primes I'm concerned. One of my biggest complaints about MPs was the added seconds needed to change lenses due to the them needing 2 hands per lens on a swap. If primes end up with lens support we need either lighter primes or stronger mounts.

Michael (with slightly less than a pennies worth)

PS interestingly MP macro 100mm has built in lens support (this lens is the same weight as the 25 and 35mm from Red)

Hey Pawel,

I put the lenses on the MTF machine, but because of the resolution and way the new lenses are design, I have received faulty MTF reading, which showed that lens was off. (I have to contact Arri and Zeiss for the MTF adjustment.)
When you look at Gregor's test both lenses Cookes, Ultra Primes and RPP have different characteristics, I would not say good or bad, but I would say, those lenses have different characteristic (on a positive side)

I'll be shooting RPP film test. I'll keep you inform.
