New zoom...

I've heard that there may be a 50-150 in the works. With the release of the 18-50, I don't see there being a reason to release a second zoom with basically the same focal lengths.

Strange how I predicted that soo precisely.

Then again maybe I did hear something about it at NAB subconsciously? :spidy:

Alexander, I hope your spider instinct only work 50%, no more than that...! :wink:

buh-bye nikons, hello big RED!

this is great news! now i can have a full range on a single lens mount, from macro to tele....RED and the zoom line are suddenly looking like a dream documentary unit....

Makes you wonder if other camera companys are working with these people.

Hmmm, I wonder if he means late summer this year, or December 30th of this year. Either way, I'll have to get it!

"Hubble-esque"

Brilliant!

Keck-esque would have been brillianter, albeit quite exaggerated.

My predictions on RED related topics have been %100 spot on. Beware, the next thing I predict is a delivery schedule that will reveal the true shipping dates! :waaa:

Hmmm... As some others seem to be thinking, I'm probably going to skip the Nikon mount now. Why mess with changing mounts when I can have two affordable PL mount zooms. T-Stops on the 18-50 (and presumably will be on the 50-150). The two zooms are a no brainer, this is great news.
