Probably we should thank to Michael Bravin about this ARRI/Fujinon zoom (name) deal !!???

Curious and just waiting for NAB to know which name can get brand new set of Leica's Mystery Primes !!!???

 

[jonnycom]

The 45-250 was sweet, I will buy one as soon as they let me. Bravin said they will only be sold with the cameras initially.

As far as the Leica Mystery Primo's they could have gone to Panavision and cut a logo deal.

Speaking of PV if they don't start selling glass and accessories soon....... how do you type the emoticon for your fingers going across your throat?

Love that 45-200, gotta have it!

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

The new Fuji zooms look great. And priced nicely too. The 18-80 is less than half the price of the Optimo 17-80... 45-200, drool.

Initially being sold only with the new cameras? REALLY? meh.....

 

[Nathan Garofalos]

Thats pretty bad ass...

 

[Tom.Wong]

are these the fastest 35 mm zooms made? or are there faster ones? Optically it's not possible to get zooms like this too much faster correct?

No, there are faster zooms. The Angenieux 17- 80 T2.2 (F2).

Yeah, but that 45-250 showed absolutely NO breathing. NONE. Thru the whole range.

I thought the Fujinon 18-85 was sweet. I mean, it is sweet... but man, those Aluras....

There's a Fujinon 18-85 T2.0, a Cooke 15-40 T2.0, a few others.

Group buy on the 45-250 anyone?

 

[Vladimir Eugene]

Group buy on the 45-250 anyone?

I'm in

 

[Evin Grant]

Me too, but I doubt Arri/Fujinon will be in a position to supply a group buy for some time

 

[Tom.Wong]

and at 20k a pop it's actually not a bad deal, even if you get both lenses, it's still cheaper than the optimo 24-290

I expect you're right Evin. But I live in hope for a 'Mitch Gross, have I got a deal for you post!' :sifone:

Here's a link to an article about the lenses, with a group pic of them: http://dv.com/article/93702

Basically the article is the same as the press release that Fujinon put out about the lenses

 

[Scott Webster]

Hey Steve, Different glass. The lenses we are referring to are 'Alura' being sold by Arri.

Seem to be a separate line to the Fujinon set you linked to.

 

[Steve Gibby]

Yup, different line of lenses...there should be some info somewhere. A few quick Bing searches for them turned up nothing yet.
