RED PRO PRIMES?

[Markus Olsson]

Okey, help me! Please!
I have Red17-50mm, Red 50-150mm, Red 300mm I have budget to buy only to 2 RED Pro Primes, which 2 do you think i should buy?
I know the question, it depend on what you will shoot. But don’t care about that question. What would you buy?
Many Thanks!
Markus

You need to get the 50mm, most awesome. I also like the 100mm. ......I like them all, but if I had to pick out of the set, those 2.

35mm and 25mm...

 

[Erich Roland]

2 primes

2 primes

25mm, 85mm

he is more confused then ever now.

I personally find using higher stops on wide, so you are good with your zooms

As for the primes...

I think 50mm is the most versatile and has amazing look to it.

Then its 100mm.

Hope this helped.

RENT A SET AND SEE.......ONLY YOU CAN KNOW WHAT DELIGHTS YOUR EYE.

I shoot a lot of single person standups, and or holding or using hand held size product. I use the 35mm more than any other size.

 

[Dave Weber]

I would say 35mm is a must, after that I like the 85mm.

 

[Jon MIchael Puntervold]

I agree that 35mm is a must, but oh my, wide and sharp and fast lenses are extremely nice... I would certainly also add the 25mm or the 18mm (I guess used less rarely, but to great effect).

How often do you use a 85mm for your narrative work?

 

[Curt Pair]

I would say the 85mm/100mm are great for close ups (singles). It's kind of a toss up... depending on how tight you like to shoot. I say a minimum of an 85, I often use a 100. I would also go with something wide and fast too! 18 or 25. You're now covered on both ends!

Good luck. I agree... if you can rent and try them yourself... that always helps.

 

[Stivan Widick]

Given that you have the 17-50, which is a light lens, adding the 85 and 100 will give you a relatively light, versatile kit when you don't feel like lugging the 50-150 around.

Thanks for all the tips!
I think I have to change my plans and buy a whole set.
