Hi! I'm trying to figure out if I should go S35 or VV. I'm very interested in the Fujinon MK lenses. I've used them a couple of times with a good result.
I shoot mostly skiing and snowboarding with L glass and sometimes rent a Zeiss 21-100, Canon 17-120, or if it's a big shoot with lots of help a Canon 30-300. I think if I was going to be set on the MK lenses I'd probably go for the S35 and if I wasn't I'd do the VV.
I really haven't seen or heard anything about the S35 other than a few things RED has put out. It's kinda surprising that there aren't at least a couple of hands on reviews since RED says it's shipping. Are people just not interested and not buying it? If so that does scare me a little that it's gonna be a flop and they are going to cut the price in half in a few months.
Trying to pull the trigger soon and would love to hear from anyone with experience with the S35 and or the MK lenses as well.
