RED Pro Prime set FAQs

Richard Darge said:
Hey Jim, how are you guys approaching current Red owners. Do you just go up the serial number ladder and ask those who have not placed a reservation if they are in or do we early res. Red owners without a RPP res. have to send out an email if we're possibly interested in being apart of this?

Interested in this, too. We don't have reservations yet on the original prime set, but are interested in getting the new set. I sure hope that the backlog on these isn't 6 months or anything...

As mentioned earlier in the thread, all orders from this time period (NAB week) should be filled by end of Summer or early Fall at the latest. If you have a low R1 number, it will go very fast.

Wow Your making NAB time very rough on my bank account:

NAB07: Ordered Red One
NAB08: Took Delivery
NAB09: Most likely buying some glass
 
I plan on buying a Red Pro Prime lens set, I just wonder when I will actually take delivery of a Scarlet FF35 Monstro system, with PL mount, so I can have something to attach the Red Lenses too? Either way this is a dream come true.

Please note that I updated correct resolution specs at the beginning of this thread. Greater than 100 line PAIRS/mm at the center.

I understand you CAN us the RPP PL (positive locking) lenses on a RED FF35 system, but that you will need to shoot windowed at about 4.5K or 4.75K. If I am wrong I will appreciate being corrected. ;)

i'm going out to nab, but unfortunately i have to be back home wednesday morning for a shoot. are any of the new products going to be floating around anywhere earlier in the week?

Martin,

This is correct based on what I've read. You are shooting the same physical sensor area but because the photosites on the Mysterium Monstro are larger than the Mysterium-X, you get fewer pixels in that area. However, it's likely that with less noise and better dynamic range characteristics from Monstro, this will be a common trade off. I doubt most video productions are going need more than 4K; You are likely to happily shoot movies with your cinema primes at 4.5K on an FF35, getting the same optical properties you are used to and then switch to full frame still lenses when you want to do stills work with the same camera body. Or if you do have full frame lenses suitable for cinema style shooting, which I imagine Red will eventually provide, you can shoot 5K or 6K video. Depending on the production and which lenses you want/ are available you have lots of options. So if you are worried about your cinema style lenses with the 32mm image circle being made obsolete by the FF35 you are getting a bit ahead of yourself, horses for courses as they say, the super 35 gate size is likely to remain a standard for moving images for some time to come. Likewise 4.5K is plenty of resolution for a beautiful and extremely sharp movie.

I believe the Big Man said the other day that both 300mms are optically identical.

Cheers,

Jim/Jarred,

I'm looking forward to purchasing a set of primes for my Red One (3306) but I'm curious- will you be requiring payment in full to secure the set, or will it be a small deposit and payment when the lenses ship?

I ask because I am arranging financing for a number of pieces of equipment, the primes and the 18-85 included. I'd be able to put down a 10-15% deposit this week coming, but not the full value.

Thanks for the information, and thanks for doing what you do. You guys have made my and my team's little filmmaker dreams come true! </sappiness>
 
Hey Jim, is there any chance of offering a 25-35-50-85 set for right now at a reduced price. I ask because I rather have a set with an 18mm lens rather than with a 100mm lens. If I need a longer mm, I might buy it in the future, but right now 90% of the stuff I shoot on the RED is with an 18mm lens. It's just slightly frustrating to have to buy one lens, when I rather hold onto the money and spend it on a much more needed one when you release it later.

Just asking...:)
