Jase Ryan Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Has anyone used the Red One lenses on a 35mm camera? If so I'd love to hear what you think about the results. Thanks. Jase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Chris Keth Posted July 5, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted July 5, 2008 If you can afford to shoot 35mm, you can afford nicer lenses. I haven't worked with the primes but the RED zoom was atrocious. It felt like it would fall apart any moment and the lack of proper witness marks is a BIG problem.

Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted July 5, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted July 5, 2008 The Red primes aren't available yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, they'll just be poorly marked S4s. I don't know who thought of making all of the markings in red. It's an awful idea. It doesn't have to be very dark at all before the red markings blend into the black barrel and you can't see them without a light anymore. To the RED people: There is a good reason the major lens companies use yellow markings on a black barrel. Don't screw with what works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Borowski Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 You're swimming against the current. From what I've heard and read here and elsewhere, the Red people are gobbling up 35mm lenses everywhere, causing the market to spiral upwards and totally out of control. Thanks Jim Jannard. . .

The Red lenses are marked yellow as far as I can tell from pictures. The Cooke Red Edition also has yellow focus marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
