  • 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 :)

Stumbled across this.

So I think Red is gonna take this lens and the 50-150 and rebrand them and sell them through Retail stores. I believe it was stated that Red does not want to make lenses anymore less than the quality of the Pro Primes. Just my guess.
 
My guess is that the exclusive period is up with Cooke on these lenses since it has been two years and Cooke is doing this with B&H. The 18-50 and 50-150 seem to be the only ones Red didn't develop themselves and they aren't called pro which I hope means Red will have a new pro version they come out with soon. Red does a better price/performance lens than anyone including the pro 18-85 and the RPPs.
 
I just noticed that Red took down Cooke from the gear we use page.

Well, last time Jarred answered "heh heh heh", the eBay distributor of fake RED stickers was forced to "re-focus" his business a bit. :wink:

Having said that, I have NFI what's up with those lenses. LOL

Pro version on the way?
 
...implying Red may be making a Pro version of this lens and it'll be even cheaper, I can tell by the silhouette.
 
Hahaha!! Nice! Guess the 18-50mm Pro is on the way.

Probably with a similar price, though greatly improved in every way. Doubt the price will drop.
 
Way to get the glassaholics stirred up, Jarred!

Looking at the silhouette...it looks VERY similar to the current 18-50. Maybe slightly fatter in the middle. So the question is...is this a completely new lens, a Pro-ified version of the current one, or just a stylized photo of the current one to mess with our heads?

One of your guesses is correct. I would probably put money on it not being the last two.

You finally got around to doing that ultra compact 10-250mm F1.8 zoom? Nice!

LMAO :lol:

OK Jarred, so would you put your bet on that it is an entirely brand spanking new design of a new short compact zoom to join the Pro line of RED-designed lenses?

Would it be risky to say that it will be released in 3 month's time?
