FDTIMES:
The lenses that could not be named are Leicas, and they will be on display at Band Pro’s NAB booth (C 10308). The initial set of Summilux-C Primes in PL mount will be: 16, 18, 21, 25, 35, 40, 50, 65, 75, 100 mm. They are all T1.4, and the focus scales of all lenses are identical and equally spaced.

Woah! What is it about that red spot that makes them look so much nicer? :eek6:The worst kept secret? Hope they add in something really wide soon.
 
wow, looks amazing!, the mistery primes in person, someone knows about the price?
 
I'm back now guys.

Absolutely fantastic!!!

Amazing!

And of course they are all RED dot named Leica!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Summilux by Leica terminology means speed @ f/1.4 or for cine lenses T1.4.

Very disappointed that I didn't see any Sanjin's posts in this thread yet.

I had to double check that he wasn't the original poster!

lol- yes I beat Sanjin this time. haha.

A visitor to my cinemalenses.com website tipped me off that bandpro had a showing yesterday. Will post more info as I get it.
 
Not a huge surprise, we knew they were Leica's for months, or at least that the glass was from Leica. You could tell just by looking at the coating with the reddish tint on the glass. They will be amazing, and expensive. Any idea on price? Like MP's and Cooke, I have a feeling these will be rental only for most of us. Jim should like this, since he is a Leica fan.
 
You're not too far off. We will be taking pre-paid reservations for sets of 8 lenses at the show (10% deposit). There is a limited quantity that we will be able to deliver by the end of the year, and as of his morning, several sets are already spoken for.

My hope is that Jim Jannard and the Red team decide to create
a lens set of equal quality/weight/speed etc. and then sell them
at a very low price, so as to once and for all bring and end to this
expensive lens practice.
