Red Lenses?

[Christoffer Glans]

I'd like to guess that these have external gears for regular FFs and internal cine-grade motors for remote focus? Please :tongue_smilie:

Yeah finally a pleasant "Glass" news surprise form RED... And looking very good too...

 

[Mike P.]

oh snap.

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]

It appears to be Sigma based...

It appears to be Sigma based...

how so?

 

[Tommaso Alvisi]

just by looking at my 18-35 glass...so it could be either based on the 18-35 or the 24-35...

but I could be wrong...

 

[Christoffer Glans]

I don't think it is, but IF it is that's even better :thumbsup:

If this new RED lens is a Sigma lens and has internal motors and external rings for focus then it will kill all the sales for the new Sigma Cine line...so I hope they are not Sigma based

Would be interesting though to know what lens factory and coating facility that makes the glass. Did we know who did the Red lenses last time? Believe it was Cooke coating at least?

Sigma (18-50 and 50-150) and then Tamron (17-50).

18-50 and 50-150 appears rehoused by Cooke judging by lettering plus other small details (and /i protocol of course...)

not necessarily...different targets which overlap a bit yes but a different approach.

As "forge their own path" as Red usually is, not even using somebody else's off-the-shelf sensors which almost everyone does, I'm surprised they stick to rehousing other people's lenses.

my guess something like this but with both pl and Ef mount. : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Customized-...8794a8d&pid=100005&rk=5&rkt=6&sd=181564103331


The price for these lenses is quite nuts. Really happy I have no big money in glass right now.
