hey all,
can anyone from red publish a list of the front diameter (inches or mm, but mm would be most useful) of all the lenses:
300
18-50
Primes:
15
25
35
50
85
? would help me decide if I need to get rid of my current (wonderful) petroff 4x4, I have a feeling the answer is, sadly, yes.

This image (http://www.engadget.com/photos/red-one-hands-on-red-nab-booth-tour/215355/) suggests the OD of the 18-50 is 114mm which means bye bye Petroff 4x4. If you want to stay Petroff you would seem to need the 5x5.

Thanks, oh bearer of crappy news :) Well, such is life. I loved that little petroff and robert is such a nice guy, but it will be easier to sell with the zacuto plate and the FF I have for it so, eh.
Did you see the Vocas booth (assuming you were at NAB?) I played with a swing away version of the 450 and it was teh scheisse. Fantastic design, the brows are very cool and much faster than front mattes and the swing away mechanism is excellent.

I never made it to NAB, kicking myself for not going now though.

They'll probably be at cinegear. I might, depends on my workload :)
