Awesome! I'll keep my eye out for those. The 70-180mm 2.8 would be the dream lens, unfortunately it's way out of my price range! The Angeniuex 45-90mm looks really cool as well.

Finally had a chance to use my set on a production!
I'm curious what mattebox/follow focus combo you guys are using with your Reds? I couldn't quite get a compatible setup, there was either a small gap between the follow focus and the matte box, or I couldn't get a low enough profile of follow focus to fit.
Mainly had issues with the 28mm Elmarit F/2.8 because it's the shortest lens of the bunch. There was always just a tiny gap between the bellows and the 80mm front which caused a lot of reflection issues.
I tried using a few different combos: O'connor CFF-1/Bright Tangerine Misfit, Arri FF-4/BT Misfit, CFF-1/Arri MMB-2, all with a studio spaced, 15mm rod bridgeplate adapter.
I ultimately had to settle with the CFF-1-/BT Misfit in Clip-on mode but there were still constant annoyances. These lenses are just so tiny and there's not enough spacing between the focus gear and the front ring!

Yeah, step ups are a way but also stacking old filters with the glass removed is a way to solve this...
Nice shot Brian, which lens was this and at which aperture?
Thank you Mark. That was exactly our intension.Very nice classic, yet modern look Christian.
