Wider Red

Yes, the thread went on way, way, WAY too long and got twisted and turned by various interpretations of the original question. And part of that is my fault because I wasn't always paying close enough attention to the individual posters who were sometimes asking different questions or expressing different points of view not related to the original matter. Mea culpa.

The FOV of any two 14mm lenses on the same format will be the same.

A 14mm still lenses for 36x24mm still format used on the RED ONE will have a decreased FOV and doesn't offer a viable increase in wide angle FOV relative to the 18mm on the 18-85 zoom.

Can we leave it at that?

Um. I hate to be the bad guy and drag this out, but... your two statements appear to directly conflict with each other.

If the FOV of any two 14mm lenses on the same format will be the same, then it follows that a 14mm photo lens (which is a member of the category "any 14mm lens") will offer wider FOV than the 18mm on Red's zoom, when both are used on the same format.

Yes, a 14mm lens on Red will offer less FOV than a 14mm lens on the 35x24mm photo format, but this is a separate issue (about which there has been no disagreement in this thread).
 
I've reviewed the entire stream and I now see where it came off the rails. My original post was, I believe, misinterpreted and I responded without correcting the misinterpretation or clarifying my meaning. Disagreement resulted because the misinterpreted premise was compounded by oher posts, including mine, that threw other issues into the mix. I'm not sure we can untangle it now. And I'm too tired to try tonight. I'd hate to be somebody trying to decipher this thread. Perhaps nuking is in order.
 
Well at your request Mr. Lowry... i offer you the first locked thread of Reduser :)

I shoulda locked it after Jaime's great words of wisdom, so I will repost then and close it down.
