Question for the red team

[Andrew Rieger]

Are the mini primes threaded in the front?

If so, what size filters and step up rings will work with these lenses?

Do these lenses have a common front diameter?

I'm not red team, but I can help.

Firstly, to not have threads on the end of the lenses would be beyond stupid, now saying that, I have yet to see them confirm it :biggrin:

from getting my lens as close to the glass as I could, and imagining seeing the bottom of the lens... I'd say the thread could be anywhere from 30-45mm on most of the primes, I think the widest lens could possibly be a 52mm thread size.

So that answers your last question so are wider than others:

Can someone from the red team please confirm if the miniprimes are threaded? I agree with Zac, if they are not threaded, it will be a major problem for many potential customers.

Cinema prime lenses are typically used with rods, matte boxes, and filter holders and do not need filter threads. Given the intended audience for the Scarlet, having threaded fronts on the mini primes might be a nice option. But the lack of threads certainly isn't a deal breaker.
