85mm

It's one of my favorite focal lengths anyway. But it's one of the more compact RPPs. I love the look it produces.

RED must like it too, it's the one RPP they most like to show in all their renders and on prototype camera bodies. Although, that probably comes down to physical size.

I think I use the 35 and 85 most often. I'm sure the 18mm will see tons of use now that I have it.

No one will believe you Jeff until you post grabs. For all we know that could have been a picture of your 25mm or 35mm with a little photoshop. Just sayin' :P

85mm is the most beautiful focal length in all lenses period, whether it is Zeiss, Cooke or Red.
It just looks good.
Red has proven to make it good.

cooke does not make 85mm primes... only 75, same for master primes...:)

I grew up shooting with a 50mm lens on a Nikkormat my Dad gave me. I have been partial to that focal length ever since. The RPP 50mm never leaves me hanging.

and so you are right, yet 85 is the sweet point, is't it?

I think my favorite RP is going to be the 17-50mm! Jarred just said it is 3.2lbs!

I find myself using 35mm more with the RPPs, than I did before. Just because I love that lens.

25mm...shooting for 2.40, the 25 is gorgeous. 35's a bit awkward for me.
