[chris layhe]

Hi Guys, sorry sold all...

I'm selling our demo set of five beautiful prime cinema lenses designed and created specifically for 4/3rd (and now Sony E mount) cameras, with the Veydra six lens pelican case. They are on eBay right now at http://www.ebay.com/itm/201459240981?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 starting at $3,300. Here are the details: This auction is for our demo 5 Lens set of Veydra Pro Cinema Prime lenses, complete with fitted Veydra case. This is the heart of a full, and growing, line of professional grade purpose-built Mini Primes for the mirrorless camera filmmaker. Veydra lenses offer an unparalleled cinema quality prime lens line at an extremely competitive price. The set includes: Regular 4/3rd and Super35 sensor mirrorless camera mount, and can take the Veydra Sony E mount adapter12mm, 16mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mmAll with a constant - and accurate - T2.2 manual apertureConstant volume focus, so you always have just the right amount of throw to be film preciseStandard 0.8 cinema pitch gears for perfectly smooth and reactive follow focus Common front diameter so one filter fits every lensImperial scaleAll exceed 4k resolution and are ready for the next bog thing todayComplete fine grade aluminum components for rugged capability and a solid feelMulti-coated optical glass for precise flare controlNo aperture clicks for exact iris controlAll with a matching beautiful bokeh and colorVeydra also now make an 85mm T2.2 prime which fills the sixth hole in the case!These really are great lenses and extend the capabilities of the 4/3rd cameras for serious lightweight film work. We demo these on Lumix GH4 bodies and they make a great combination, without having that plasticy feel of regular DSLR lenses, and without needing lots of adapters to make work. But rather than my rambling, here is a great review by my pal Adam Wilt http://www.provideocoalition.com/first-look-veydra-mini-primes-for-micro-four-thirds Coalition Review, and a second one by lens guru Matthew Duclos https://matthewduclos.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/veydra-first-to-offer-m43-cinema-primes/ Circle of Confusion Blog and some pretty nice early test footage and comparison with other lens options https://vimeo.com/112637687 ReviewThe new price for a set from Veydra is $4,699, or $5,154 from Adorama, but our price for the demo set of 5 lenses and pelican case is just $4,290 plus shipping for Buy It NoweMail Chris@CLAi.tv for more details.

What image size do they cover? On an FS7 will they cover super 35?

 

[Alex Phan]

why is it starting bid change from 3300 to 3700 to 3900 to 3800. You change it daily when there is no one actually start the bid at $3300 to beginning with?

 

[chris layhe]

Hi Alex, it is doing that because I have had two offers on the lens set at those prices - but not at my Buy It Now price - which makes me think that is what their value is at the moment, but the nature of educated camera gear buyers on eBay is to leave it to the last second and try to pick up a bargain at the starting price. If it was worth more than 3300 to two people then that is obviously too low a starting bid...

Hi Ned, not all of them - Veydra say "We often get emails asking for adaptability of the Veydra Mini Primes to other cameras than M4/3. The physical design of the Mini Primes is too small and the flange depth is too shallow (distance of the back of the lens to the sensor) to accommodate adaptation to Canon EF or PL mount. However, we can offer other shallow flange depth mounts like Sony E and C Mount. Therefore we will offer a Sony E mount for the Veydra 25mm, 35mm, 50mm and soon to be 85mm lenses in APS-C mode coverage on all Sony NEX or E mount cameras including the Sony A7s, A7RII, A6000, FS-700, and FS-7." Their 4/3rd to E Mount converter will be available any day now at an extremely reasonable $99 but the 12mm and 16mm will vignette.

 

[Alex Phan]

are you willing to sell the 12mm by itself only? i'm interested.

 

[chris layhe]

Hi Alex, I'm afraid not - it comes as a kit... which is a shame because the 12mm is probably the best of the lenses, although it was only included in one of the packages.

Sorry guys, I just actually read this again and realized that I had put the price down incorrectly - should be "we'll sell the set to any REDUser member for $3,300 plus shipping"
