  • 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 :)

It‘s a great camera, but... some odd quality issues on #112

FWIW the previous aluminum mount was sticky in the beginning but after a few shooting days became very free moving. I suspect the same will be true of this mount, and possibly better because of the higher grade aluminum.

Even if I would live with imperial scales I know I can't rent I them out simply because it is not accepted here.

That IS just the point. Imperial markings would make RED lenses really a poor investment in Europe because they would be good just for personal use but no good for pro use or rental.
I still have time to decide to cancel or not my Red lenses order but for sure i'll start to consider alternatives right now.

come on Jarred - 73% pol for metric scales - this is a good number. even if you have to charge for it - the most will pay for it.
But this is definitely so very important.... and you can do it !

we just can't do it... but im sure there are going to be lots of companies out there that will be happy to rescale the lenses if its that important.

if you have unsharp pictures - maybe the lens had imperial markings and the assistant didn´t knew it.

doesn't make a lot of sense.
if one isn't able to put markings in lenses i do not see how he could even start to think about making one in the first place.
Feels like Sony selling to US camcorders with menus in Japanese saying that they're not able to translate menus in english.
weird.:pinch:

I don't think Imperial markings would make Red lenses a poor investment here in the UK...just saying :innocent:

To see a company who's employees talk, apologize, console their customers on a web forum the way these guys do, it's utterly amazing to me to watch people complain (at) them for silly ish. (repeatedly, even after the facts have been stated) Actually, I'm amazed by it.

If the man said they can't make metric markings on their lenses, then the man said they can't make metric markings on their lenses. It doesn't have to make sense.

It's reminiscent of "Armchair Quarterbacks" who watch Monday night football yelling at their televisions because the running back went left and got tackled instead of right to make a touchdown.

Thanks to the original poster for his professional and tactful opinion/review.
 
After watching so many of us writing why in regards to the lens markings issue, I'm realizing that it's most likely a contractual obligation with the lens manufacturer. Jim and the rest of the Redfolk didn't just fall off the back of a hay truck and land on their heads....so let's stop the needless pile-on, I'm sure if they could do it they would.

EDIT: also what shannon said

My guess is these are already manufactured and the cost to make the change would affect the price of the lens. therefor the "we just cant do it".

I'm sure they hear you loud and clear and maybe future manufacturing will be affected.

RED team Service

I have to say that as I read the thread I, for a moment, concerned my self considering that finally, after 2 years, my first RED should be shipping any day now, shortly to be followed by my other two REDs, which are to go to work immediately here in the US, to then shortly after, permanently be taken to Italy.

But yet again I'm extremely pleased with the immediate response by Jim, Kelly and Jarred, this company truly rocks all the way.

shouldn't it be the other way around?

you could find out how much it would cost, and ask us if we would be willing to pay for it?
