[Felipe Leite]

And what about the Zeiss Canon mount lenses, has anyone tried those?

This is a personal opinion.. My own feelings.

I'm pissed at Canon... The camera announcement was bad enough, but the REAL potential for them was their LENS announcement. The L series primes are the best lenses you can buy at that cost. They are amazing and most of them under $2,000.00. Because of their production ability, Canon had the chance to create a cinema version of this lens and really make a statement in that area.

But no... What to they do? They make cinema lenses and run RIGHT TO THE UBER EXPENSIVE CROWD WHERE OTHER COMPANIES HAVE BEEN CAMPED OUT FOREVER.

Yeah... That was smart. At this point, I think Canon is RED's best sales person. They are all but PUSHING us to buy RPPs! After all they just locked the RPPs in as the best deal in PL mount glass out there.

Jesus... These guys blew it on so many levels.

I agree 100%. Canon is missing the boat.

Yes i had those lens , they are exactly the same lens as the cp.2 ! Good lens tho , but not my favorite one .


And yeah i definitely feel the same , that canon has completly miss the boat ! Most of their customer are really pissed with their camera evolution .

The hit of the year would have been a 5d mark III ! everyone know that except canon !

Thanks Madjid, I'll stick with my Leica lenses then, just gotta get those allstar adapters.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that producing cinema caliber glass is expensive. Prices are prices for a reason.
