  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RED lenses...

For RED and their costumers the next – lets say six month – will be very crucially
concerning the lens question. Should we go for RED Zooms and primes, should we go for Zeiss or Cooke? The Birger-way will be an alternative in some cases, but if you really like to work as a professional, let's say on a spot or feature, then this won't be the best way. So: I will observe the RED lens way for the next three, for month, then I will need a bunch of good lenses.

That's exactly what I think Daniel. And hey thanks a lot for the metric scales. That's big time news for me. Without metric scaling, we europeans are f...d.

Thanks
Tim

Ah!
Fantastic.

Jim, you should be proud.
In this days and age doesn't happen often to be really listened by a company...
Seems that this forum is the only place where an italian can feel the great taste of real democracy, really :biggrin:


Sure your venture will be a case study in age to come!

thanks

Well, as for me i'll be waiting for the final response about 18-50mm and 50-150 zooms (they're the ones i've already ordered).

If no metric will be available for those i'll get a RED 18-85mm and an used Cooke or get a RED 18-85mm and wait for RED primes!

Just hope definitive verdict about 18-50mm and 50-150 zooms and shipping date for 18-85mm and Primes will come soon!

thanks again

Thank you again Jim

We heard your feedback and Jim made the call to move in that direction just yesterday. Just give us a little bit of time to get some details in place. As soon as we have more information, we'll post here....

Thanks, BC
 
Brent or Jarred,

Can you E-mail the Lemo part number for the "Male" 5 pin Lemo connector for the side of the REDONE camera for time code in & out.


Thank You
David Birdy

Here is the scoop.

The 18-85mm RED zoom will be offered in either Imperial or Metric.

The 300mm will be offered in Metric in the future.

The RED Primes will be offered in both Imperial or Metric.

We are not sure about the 18-50mm and 50-150 zooms.

I never cancelled my orders - because I knew you would change your mind. :wink:

I really need the 18-50 mm right from the start. So in case you decide to make a metric scale for it in the future (please :innocent:), would you please consider offering an "upgrade" path? That would be awesome. I could live with some selfmade stickers up until then.

And as some other members have pointed out: witness marks would be the icing on the cake. Please! Pretty please! :biggrin:

amazing!
 
You have to thank Jarred for pushing this decision over the top...

Jim is going to turn us all into a bunch of spoiled brats!

Anytime someone wants a new toy (feature), we just need to get a few of us here on the forum to start whining until we get what we want. :waaa:

hello there,

is it possible to make any type of INTERCHANGABLE or ADD-ON scale on the lens? i.e. lens already has certain scale on it, and you can put your preffered scale on it, in "press and cllick" manner?
of course, it's needed then to make i.e. small holes or similar things on the lens scale to put/fix/screw that added scale properly.

or you can just PULL out your imperial scale from your lens and change it for metric scale - in the same place (specially designed "ditch") - BUT it's needed then to re-shape lenses itself - which is probably too complicated/expensive...

i mean - fi you can add a TAPE with say, metric markers on it - wouldn't you preffer aready properly calibrated scale as add on?

what do you think?

There just isn't enough room to put both... I guess that's why no one does it in this industry. That mostly happens on autofocus still lenses.

Scales need to be big and easy to read...

sorry if this sounds stupid but.... would it be possible to make a thin strip that when position at certain increments with the metric marking would align to meet the imperial standard?
