Red 50-150mm

[Peter Cote]

Has Red said anything about updating the 50-150mm. I used it recently and really liked it. It was nice and light in comparison to the 18-85mm (HUGE!).

 

[Mark Toia]

I'd like to know this too..

 

[Max M.]

Me too, would really be nice next to the 17-50!

 

[Peter Cote]

Yeah I was impressed by how well the 17-50 and 50-150 complemented each other.

 

[Robert Horwell]

RED...anyone?...50-150 update?..

 

[B. Digital]

Hello Please we are waiting for a little someting here.
why sptoping a product when you do not have a replacement. ????

 

[Paul Hazlett]

I would not get your hopes up on this one, been a long time since EOL and nothing suggests there is a replacement.

 

[Mitch Martinez]

It would be sweet to see these in the RED store webpage again...

 

[Tim Bradley]

Does anyone have any idea why the 50-150 was stopped being sold?

 

[Russ Fill]

ONe more for why and if it is going to come out in a RED Pro style... Would really like this club in my bag as I seem to always wish I had some thing in that range with a zoom...

Just a hunch here: The original 18-50 and 50-150 appear to be somehow related to the Sigma 18-50 and 50-150 still lenses. There's conjecture that the new Pro 17-50 is somehow related to the Tamron 17-50. So where's the new Pro 50-150??? Well, aside from Sigma, no one makes a lens in that length for the stills market, so perhaps there's no pathway to a Pro 50-150...

This is, of course, conjecture: I have no inside information.

Regards,

I love conjecture and I would love to conjecture a 70 to 200mmm 2.8 Pro from the canon line.. That would be the ultimate work horse...
Hey red listen up...

 

[Mark Toia]

We tested one of these the other day... just a simple domestic lens.
It was sharper then hell! and with sensors being so good in low light, F5.6 was not a convern at all!

Now that RED has mounts for lenses like this, the world has just opened up for a lot of people.
