Okay guys. There is a lot of information out there about different lens setups for the Red, but as far as I can tell, you'd have to spend hours to compile it all. I would like to start a list of all the possible lens solutions for the Red, including the necessary adapters and price range. This should be a straight forward document that every Red owner could print out and show to their clients for budgeting. This would also be incredibly helpful for former video guys trying to make the jump from HVX200's to the Red.

I don't expect anyone to know everything about all the lenses, but if someone could start a list and then people could just add on and edit it until it is complete. Let's try and make it in order of price because it's more objective than quality. I would think the list should look something like this:

LENS_______FORMAT (4k/2k)_____ADAPTER (if needed)_______PRICE RANGE
*(use an asterisk to add any notes about necessary modifications or whatever)

Ex. RED 50-150mm Zoom__________4k__________No Adapter________$8500
*breathes a little

This is just an example. I've never even touched a Red Lense before. Let's try and keep quality judgements to a minimum. If the solution works but sucks, just move it to the bottom of the list. There are plenty of lens reviews on this forum, so people can look on the list and see what's in their budget, then search for reviews on that setup.

Here are some lens mount adapters that look nicely made.
