New 1.7 Primes for the RED ONE from Germany:

[Adrian T.]

Are there likely to be wider lenses at any stage?

Second that question. It would be great to add an 18 and a 14 mm.

Apart from that the offer sounds really promising.

 

[Matthew Rogers]

There will be a lens wider than 14mm. At least that's what I've been told.

 

[Stephen Pruitt]

Full frame or S35 only????

This does sound really intriguing.

We will slash the prices as red did, so think about -70-85% of usual prices.

Usual prices of what? Ultra primes, Master primes...?

 

[David Birdy]

Great news....I'll wait two weeks..
Please keep us updated!

Dave

 

[DeaneThrussell]

you Legends....Thank you for doing this...this is what the marketplace needs lense prices have been going silly

 

[Ramesh Jai]

Are you also going to sell lenses individually or only as a set? When can we expect a macro lens? Thanks

 

[albert rudnicki]

Whoever comes first with affordable quality glass is a winner; I am both intrigued and excited.
Great news!

Cheers

 

[Nick Gardner]

I'm interested to see what people consider low priced.

Laguun has sent some of us specs and other information already, but we have been asked not to reveal any of it. Let's just say that if the specs and price live up to what he says, they should be very nice lenses! But hopefully in the next week's time we should see some sample images and possibly some footage.

It would be nice though, to see a picture of one of the lenses.

Matthew

 

[Gregory Karydis]

Definitely interested.

I noticed that you have been less active on reduser over the last couple months. Now I know why. You've been busy creating lenses.:calm:

Must admit, I am intrigued.

 

[Matt Uhry]

Some LA night party stuff could be arranged. I might not be the guy for that, mostly don't go west of Fairfax if I can help it.

I'd be happy to "DP" the test, but subjective lens testing is not necessarily a pretty business...

What we can do is try to rope in David Mullen ASC, Evin Grant, Matt Duclos ( perhaps with the shops lens projector in tow ), the notorious wandering uber DIT Brook Willard, VFX guru Mark Weingarter, a set of Ultra Primes, S4's, Maybe Master Primes - to compare shot for shot, side by side.

Up for it Jan ?
( It's also was Sunny and 30c here today )

(1)Regarding my Monday appointment, could you please give me a clue as to how much more expensive your lenses will be in relation to the Carl Zeiss Planars ZF(for Nikon mount). i.e. is it’s closer to a factor of two or ten? an intention would be very helpful. I realise you don’t know your volumes yet?

(2)Also, a strange question I know, but as you are intending volume sales, are your lenses ever likely to be released on a Nikon mount for the high end stills market? i.e. I’m trying to work out if it is time for me to “bite the bullet” and run my R1 on the PL mount?

In summary, can I come out to play with the big boys yet? Or do I still have to tell the crew not to breath as I pull focus on my Nikon 1.4-50

Paul

Paul, Just a guess, but lagum quoted prices as being around 70-85% cheaper than usual. A cine prime lens 'usually' cost upwards of around $20,000 new. So that would make the price $3,000 or more.

As for a nikon mount, I'd have thought that is highly unlikely as these are cine lenses and as such wouldn't have the coverage. I could be wrong of course...

Also, why do you want the Zeiss 50mm 1.4 if you already have the Nikon 1.4? That Nikon is a great lens and the Zeiss ZFs are just Cosina lenses under the skin...
