Hey Roy,

I kept the 40mm SER 1, as all the offers I got for it were very low, and I figured, for some
vintage look shots it's a nice medium focal length, and at that price, I'd rather keep it. :)

All sold now (keeping one last lens for special shots and as as Memory of this nice set) :)

SOLD, thanks =)

I have a brand new Red Pro Zoom 18-85 in its original packaging for sale.

This lens was brand new from RED, not a battle tested lens. It has been mounted to a camera twice,

but has never been actually used. No marks of use anywhere, comes in the original box.

More Details here: http://www.red.com/store/products/red-pro-zoom

It's an amazing lens as you will hear from the other users and for sure find out for yourself.
I'm selling it because it is simply a bit on the big and heavy side for the specific use I intended it for

when I bought it.

This is the US/imperial version - markings in feet.

Located in Munich, Germany

Asking EUR 6200 / USD 7.000
(Current new price is USD 9.975, and this one is no different, it's brand new).

Feel free to make offers to get this amazing brand new zoom now!

Update - only 2 Panchros and 1 Kinetal left :) !

Available lenses:

40mm T2.3 SER I
75mm T2.3 SER II

Last night a few things were stolen from one of our production cars.

The car was located on the Hotel Parking lot of "Hotel Lindner Düsseldorf Airport". "Luckily" the security camera we parked our car below was a dummie,

as all of theirs are... <_<

We took most of the expensive gear with us over night, but among the few less important things they stole, they got a

Fujinon HA18X7,6BERM-M58B B4 lens Serial # 426255.

In case you ever come across it, it's stolen.

Hi Darian,

Hi All,

I have a set of 18-75 Cooke Speed Panchros in original ARRI Standard Mount for sale.

Due to many reasonable offers coming in and apparently a bigger interest in single lenses,
I already started splitting it up.

Available lenses:

18mm T2.2 SER III
32mm T2.3 SERI II
40mm T2.3 SER I
75mm T2.3 SER II

Matching lenses to compliment the Speed Panchros:
37.5mm T2 Cooke Kinetal (a nice additional focal length, matching the speed panchros very well)
100mm T2.8 Cooke Kinetal (I never had the 100mm deep field panchro, but this one matches the set beautifully)


25mm T2.2 SERI II - SOLD
Second 40mm SII - SOLD
50mm T2.3 SER II - SOLD
50mm SER I - SOLD



These lenses have been our own lenses since their first day. The lenses have never been rented and have received our best
owner/operator care. All the lenses have clean glass, absolutely no fungus or haze. Not too many noticeable dust particles either.
The 18mm has a tiny nick on the front element, which is outside the imaging area, and absolutely no detriment to image quality.
Since their last service is a few years back, I would recommend a service at duclos or whatever you prefer, just to be 100% sure
they are all in their best shape. Of course they would be awesome for rehousing, but they are a pleasure to shoot with as they are.
The 75mm has the typical golden touch, though I wouldn't say it has excessive "yellowing" - I have certainly seen stronger yellow
casts on 75s.


If you are interested or would like more detailed pictures (sorry for the small limit on file size I can attach here) please send a pm,
I'll happily answer any questions.

Please make a reasonable offer for the lenses you're interested in.

The lenses are located in Munich, Germany and can be shipped worldwide.

Happy Bidding =)

Price Drop on the 2-Axis head: USD 3700 or best offer takes it :)

3rd Axis Module SOLD, thanks :)

2-Axis head still available for USD 4000 - or make a reasonable offer!

While -in still photography terms- this one really is a quite solidly built pro lens, I'm aware of variation in all kinds of gear, pro or consumer, of course. That link is really interesting, wouldn't have thought product-to-product variation to be that evident on lenses! Still a comparison should be good to tell if a certain degree of this shift it's normal or if I have an issue with my copy.

In the end however, this reminds me to be really careful about testing a stills lens before using it for video. While I'm not a fan of that practice at all, it sometimes does come in handy, especially on documentary-style shooting.

Hi Dom,

wow, thanks so much, I couldn't have hoped for a better answer!

It is noticeable, but I wouldn't say excessive. And you're absolutely right, it's most noticeable

when changing direction, but also when starting a focus pull.

I was planning to compare my zoom to another sample, and now know that it's worth the effort.

And another reminder for me to be extremely careful about testing all aspects of a stills lens

before using it for video.

Thanks!

Hi all,

after a recent request for just the 3rd Axis that fell through last minute, I've reviewed our use of the weavers and
decided to sell one of my Steadman Weaver Heads including the 3rd Axis.

This is a great and very solid Mitchell-Mount Head that is incredibly flexible to setup, using different lengths of tubes.

Google finds several versions of PDFs of the manual, for example, look here to see how it works and what's included:
http://djwoods.com/manuals/Weaver-Steadman%20Inc./weaver_steadman_man.pdf


It's in good condition with a few signs of use of course, but working perfectly smooth. This one includes all the bells and whistles including the dutch angle bracket
and the long base plate, to max out its versatility.

2-Axis Head including custom Flight Case: USD 4000.-
(The new price for just the 2-Axis head was over $10,000.00)

3rd Axis Module: USD 1900.-

Both as a package for USD 5500.-
(good choice, as these parts have been together since new)


Or make an offer!

Hi All,

I think this is my first post here, usually I'm much more active over on the Steadicam forum.

Recently, I have encountered a weird issue with my Nikon 24-120 f4 zoom, and am hoping someone
can shed some light on this: pulling focus causes the image to shift left and right, up and down,

abruptly and -I think- randomly. This is definitely not what would usually qualify as breathing.

I have isolated all other causes like pushing the lens itself around a bit, it is definitely just due to turning
the focus ring. The faster it's turned, the worse the shifting, but even on very slow pulls it shifts at some
points.

Usually I'm not a big Fan of stills lenses, but for a recent documentary shot, it seemed like this
was a good allrounder on my BMCC, and it's a really nice and sharp lens overall. Now, of course I'm
used to this kind of shift happening when changing focal length of a stills zoom, which is why it's totally
unuseable in shot and I really use it as a "variable" prime, but while pulling focus?

Has anyone ever encountered something similar, Is this possibly due to a loose element in the lens,

i.e. might it need repair, or is that just the way it is with some stills lenses?

Thanks and all the best

Frederic
