A magical adapter!

18mm flange compared to a 45.5 or 44mm is going to be tough. :))

Yep! 17-120 Canon!

Sorry to hear about that Andreas.

It is exactly this sort of unfortunate scenario that you describe that raises concern. I have the same question regarding sensor upgrades and camera service.
I...

Karim, I don't think it is about being offended but it can be about caring. And perhaps context.

Personally, I don't like the skulls - I think they are really bad taste - but I've had young people...

Fair point Michael, I agree.

Have to say I agree with the opening post. And now face masks with skulls on them? This is definitely not a highlight for RED.
I guess you have to laugh, I mean really...?!

I bought my first RED camera through RED Europe and upgraded the sensor through CVP. Both of these actions would cost me more today, if I attempted to do that now.

Quite understandably, UK...

Yes, unfortunately it is quite a lot more complicated than what Jarred and John allude to.

This is a great idea, and a much better contribution to what should be a simple exchange. Of course, RED doesn't have to change anything, but what other ideas might be interesting if they did...

I suspect Covid has seriously delayed RED's timetable. But they continue to surprise.

Why take it and make it so personal?

The discussion is simply about the paint job on a very good camera.
Of course the points of view are going to differ, it's very subjective.

Just as follow up - some of what is explained from CVP UK.

Question:
I thought that the UK had a FTA with the EU – why might we still have to pay import duties?

For goods manufactured in the...

I suppose it's about caring - or not.

“...As a man is, so he sees.”

Christopher is correct on this.
Forget VAT for a moment, the price I use to pay at CVP / 'RED UK Europe' will now have an added customs charge/duty as if I bought it straight from the US. I have...

Yes, unfortunately Christoffer is correct and things are definitely not going to be 'more or less the same' as John suggests - and we would all hope for.

Despite the tariff-free deal, customs...

In Sweden, you will have to fill out a custom form, pay VAT and any other duties that are applicable, before receiving the incoming goods.

The process is more time consuming, complicated and...

Yes that's true John. But customs, tariffs etc what happens there?

+1 to a new RED Europe in Germany.

The one in England at Pinewood is unfortunately completely redundant now - CVP UK too.

With all this in mind, I'm actually wondering where I should order a Komodo - when they become available again!?

Where did you order yours Christopher?

Yes, this is a really pertinent question?
Pinewood and CVP are no longer accessible to the continent and I bought all my cameras through them.
It feels crazy that there is no real RED Europe that...

Contax Zeiss

I'd keep it as a 2nd camera Joel.

Really sorry to hear that. He was the original gentleman.

Couldn't agree more with this. And a lot of people don't find the violent, macho, military imagery so appealing. It's not cool, it's not tough - especially in these times.

Sounds like you got a bad one from the outset! Mine has never given me trouble. Happy holidays mate. Hope to see you one of these days!
