  • 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 ONE collectors...

Hey Steve,

The camera is not worth near as much as the operator where you're concerned.

Thanks for those kind words Jay...BTW I'm way stoked with how well your Red 101 DVD turned out. It was great spending those days last year in St. Louis with you and your crew for Red 101. You guys rock!

Back to Red One. Jim Jannard's dream has seriously boosted my desire to really get out and record some cool images daily. The last three years have been far and away the most fun of my career in this industry.

Now I just can't wait to also create images with Epic and Scarlet...:)

Hmmm...I'm not sayin' one way or another :)

Your camera collection looks great! Thanks for preserving those pieces of photographic history. Just a thought...wouldn't it be cool if those cameras could talk and tell where they've been and what they've seen.

I bought my first DSLR in person in 1969 in Hong Kong - a Nikon F with a few Nikkor lenses. I still have it and pull it out to use occasionally on photo trips - just so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how the shooting of images first started for me.

BTW, thanks for that story about your dad and the SR71. During my 6 years in the Air Force I was an air traffic controller. The SR71 was easily my favorite plane in the Air Force arsenal. I was also an air traffic controller in the FAA for 6 years after my Air Force service.

Steve means his RED1 named "London".

You can see that from his signature.

That's correct...my other Red is a city-named pre-production camera - "London"

NAB 2006 was historical. We took deposits from a couple hundred folks "on a scam". They bet the longshot. They put down $1000 on something uncertain. That was a moment in time that will never be duplicated. Stories make history. History makes historical value.

I remember that day well -- Walked in having heard some buzz and walked out with a reservation based on nothing more than a feeling that the people behind this new breed of camera were the sharpest people I had met.

One RED #39, an MX upgrade later, and still checking the boards every day to see what's next.

I think Gibby's running a very early GDX Nikon mount for RED on his cam also. There were only 100 made . . .

That's right Doug...that early GDX Nikon mount you made has been on Red 0008 basically ever since I received it from you. I've also used another of your early GDX Nikon mounts on "London" many times over the years. Those mounts have been super dependable for me...
 
I've always really dug my number, 363.. Been through a lot.. Traveled a lot.. Opened a lot of doors.. Can't thank Jim & Red Team enough for building your dreams and making all of us realize our own. Here's to another 100 years of milestones!
 
Got a nice, one-owner PXL2000 here. Got it for Christmas back in the day. Any takers?

Mr. Jannard- love to see your collection. Any pics of it? It must be baaaadasssss

PS Han and Chewie are part of our history. Some day, they will be in the lobby with the Avid Meridian, the Rank Cintel, the Bolex(s) and the Canon L1. My Sony TRV-900 still has a Denver Police evidence tag on it. Priceless!
 
This is an old pic of my best camera. It is Leica O-105 that belonged to Oscar Barnack, the inventor of 35mm still photography. Leica made about 30 pre-production cameras called the "Null Series"... or O Cameras. These were the 1st Leica cameras ever built. Oscar's was O-105. He actually shows up in the Leica record book as having taken O-112, then traded it with a salesman for O-105. (Note- I own O-112 also). I'm a bit of a camera history buff in my spare time. :-)

Sanjin will be proud :-)
 
Not including any RED camera, what is the most recently released camera you own that you consider one of your collectors items?
 
Jim, that Leica is making me drool. I had no idea you were such a Leica buff. I hope to grow my camera collection. I currently have a Leica IIIf, Nikon Ftn and Mamiya C330 which I use for my college portfolio work. The Leica is in good condition and the other two are mint. Any advice for a budding collector?

I think that a "new in box" of the last Canon (1V) or Nikon (F5) top pro film cameras will some day be a collector's item. I do not believe in the "Made to Collect" Leicas of the past 15 years.

I do believe that RED cameras will become important as collector's pieces in the years to come... especially RED ONEs that have significant history. Like Boris and Natasha, the pre-production prototypes or ones like #1, #7, #31... etc. Even more than any EPIC or Scarlet. The 1st ones are the most historical. They are the ones that changed history.

Remember that my opinion is worth exactly what you are paying for it.

You know what'd be interesting to hear? What the "experts" at PBS's "Antique's Roadshow" would say about your Boris and Natasha? :laugh:

Please continue to talk about these artifacts.

  • My passion is photography (still AND motion...which is why I love the DSMC concept).
  • My favorite subject is History

Go on...
