FS: Zeiss Std. T2.1 24mm and 28mm

[Aaron Becker]

I have a 24mm and a 28mm Zeiss Std T2.1 for sale. They can be bought individually at $3250/lens OBO or together for a negotiated discounted rate.

Please Note: I'm aware that I have an incredibly low post count. I've been reading REDUSER for a long time, but have rarely felt the need to post. I encourage potential buyers to take up Jason's offer in the marketplace policy sticky. He should verify that Windward Entertainment and Morgan/Aaron Becker purchased our RedOne #7825 18 months ago and that we have no red flags.

I'm willing to do whatever necessary to give comfort of authenticity to a potential buyer.

Thanks!

Hey Aaron, how's the 28mm portholing look wide open at 4.5k (on Red One)? Got any stills?
Thanks!

Hey Daniel,

I don't have extensive knowledge on this subject, so I've reached out to my cinematographer who has worked extensively with my lens.

I unfortunately don't have stills, but I will try to create some. However, I don't currently have my Red on me, so no promises. I was able to find this description of the 28mm in an old post. I've pasted it below. Hopefully it'll help.

I chose to keep and expand my Zeiss T2.1s, I now have 12-135mm. My favorites are the 20, 28, 40 and 135mm lenses. I still need to find a 60mm Macro though. I had an RPP set for a while and although I agree that they are fantastic optically I really couldn't handle the weight for handheld Vs. the Zeiss's. Also the T2.1s really have a wonderful look on digital, on our side by side tests at SALT there was no real perceivable difference between the T2.1s and the Ultra primes. The T2.1s actually showed less CA. The wides will porthole slightly but it's mostly gone at 2.8 and completely gone at f4.
They are all very sharp in the center wide open, especially the ones I mentioned above. The 28mm is actually the same floating element design as the Ultra. I think they draw very similarly to Ultras but I prefer the more traditional Bokeh of the T2.1s. You really can't go wrong with either.
