OK, probably not the best title for this, but I bet it got your attention. :)

Looking for some of the rubber rings (need black and blue) for the Angenieux DP zooms. PM me or email to info at rojomojo dot net if you have some.
 
Jeff, you got the 16-42mm and 30-80mm? If so, I'd love to hear what your impressions are, and we can keep your thread alive a little longer before it's buried in the rubble. :)

I've actually had a few people contact me to say they have extras, so a better response than I originally anticipated. I've received conflicting info as to whether the blue and black rings were also supposed to be included with the lenses. I know that in the past they were not included. The sales reps I've talked to seem to have differing opinions, but either way the rings are a bit hard to get right now, kinda like the lenses. I need the black ones to appease my military clients and a few picky DP's. Blue, because I like them I guess and so the next time I have my lens on a production with multiple DP zooms, I can see which one is mine at a glance (hopefully). I haven't been willing to laser-etch my name into it just yet. ;)

Will, the lenses are wonderful. I've been using them a lot for a couple years now. They are just good all-around workhorse lenses that make pretty pictures. If you haven't used them, you should definitely rent them and try them out! I'm hoping Angenieux will bring us a DP version of their new 45-120 zoom. Or maybe that's just me wishing I had a way to fit it into my budget.

I have the 16-42 right now... I'm waiting on the 30-80, hopefully it will come up sometime soon or I can find one for sale somewhere.
 
How does the speed hold up in low light situations? 2 stops slower than the primes is a consideration. Jeff, are you doing feature work with these?

I don't do much feature/ narrative work, but many who do are using these lenses.

FWIW, these DP zooms are actually a really good match with the Cooke /i Panchros, which also have a T2.8 aperture and share other similar qualities to the image. The DP zooms are a true T2.8 with no ramping and almost imperceptible breathing. They are awesome if that fits your needs. If you're trying to always shoot super-shallow DOF at moderate to wide focal lengths in poor lighting, where you're going to want T1.8 RPP's or faster, they're probably not your ideal lens choice.

The SALT threads in the Lens Tests forum here have a pretty good review of them. I do suggest renting them if you can to try them for yourself.
 
I can't get enough SALT. Read em both a couple of times, plus the Portland test. You really can't get enough feed back. So much in the reviews, so much more in the tests and conversations, I really wish there was another coming up.

Evin, I'd like to link up with you. I'm in LA every month. You probably have a lot more glass than just this set I'd like to check out. Maybe we can meet up at a camera house and I can treat lunch. I'm already planning a trip down to review lenses in search of the right set for our feature. If you are up for that, toss me a mail.
