Are these S16 or S35?

Does it cover the RED sensor?

Some more specs please.

Thanks

check your PM

Is there any idea what a fair and reasonable asking price would be for the three together? I could be very happy working with these three lenses as opposed to a set of primes...

Feel free to shoot me a PM, Mavrix, if you don't wish to openly address this question here.

Cheers,

Those all the great lens for S35MM format, especially design for the Steadicam, Narrow area and some times for the handle shooting.
The price quite expensive for the whole set, on the 2nd market about $75,000 last year,
but right now might cost 2 times I guess...... hope it helps...

Not what I was hoping to hear, Perry, but I have no doubt that you're right.

Guess I'll be sticking to my one gun go-to: Cooke 20-100mm.

[Perry Ho]

Those Short Zoom Lens not on the market more then 10 years, you can't compare to the Cooke 20-100mm one, that's for different kind of user.
I been used those lens for the Peugeot 206 and series Russian's Chudo Yoghourt commercials shooting in XiaJiang 2005 and Shanghai 2006.

Stick one of these puppies on a steadicam if you dare, these are big old lenses, bohemoths, not at all light weight, i was offered a set for €29000.00 recently. They are still for sale also. Great optics, clean image T2.2 , they do breath a little bit.

Hi Bob!

Thanks for your great remind, but shall be clear there in Hong Kong or Mainland China not running the systems like UK or USA, so, the Steadicam Operator from both areas were always working hard

Cheers

[Robert Horwell]

Poor guys, must be working real hard flying those things!! LOL :-)

Is that per lens or per set?

I really don't have a clue what the price of these are...

[NormLi]

That should be per set. They range from $10-15K for each lens.

That seems really low -- I'd definitely verify that.

[mavrix]

These are now posted on ebay as a set of four lenses (with two VP3's) -- starting bid at $29k for the set of four lenses. Here is link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140291209098

I've seen operators in India fly a 535 with quite a small rig. It works but it wasn't the best for his back I guess :P
