People WAKE UP

[Many Moosh]

For those who are asking to put Nikon lenses on, thats just the stupidest thing I've heard, and if you don't know why it's stupid, then please don't waste your money on a camera, but instead, go to Amazon.com and pick up a book.

And for those who are asking for B mount or C mount lenses, stop asking for things you don't need. And trust me you don't need interchangeable lenses. The truth if your an indie filmmaker, you can't afford to rent or buy good pro glass.

Wake the F*7K up people, your asking the red team to add a feature, that your willing to shell out more money for, which you can't afford to take advantage of, only never to use it. Come on folks WAKE UP.

Your comment speaks towards a filmmaker, and I agree.

For a cinematographer, I disagree

[Mike Bozulich]

Wow. Are you trolling for trouble? Heh. With a post like that you're sure to get some angry responses. However, I essentially agree with what you're saying. And if people are as "serious" about this stuff as they saying they are... well get a Red! Or rent one! What too expensive? Right... so stop asking for features on the Scarlet that will raise the price.

[Many Moosh]

I disagree with your disagreement bluestar *LOL*

Seriously though, most professional cinematographers aren't gonna be working with the scarlet. Unless your a pro cinematographer working for an indie film, in which case, pro glass is still out of the questions cause it's just to expensive to have on a indie shoot.

fuckin noobs...

fuckin noobs...

Tom, this is just the beginning, wait till these kiddies start getting their cams. Imagine the horror....

[Matt Setnes]

I think you're wrong. Professionals will be using this camera. It's aimed for a variety of professionals, not just the rich. Glass can be rented, borrowed, etc.

Take this into consideration. I buy the Red One, I buy the prime set. Scarlet comes up. I want to buy it because of its size and mobility. With the Scarlet, the rates will definitely be lower than the Red One, but now why as a cinematographer, should I limit my craft to a fixed lens when I have so many lenses(not the primes)?

I seriously only think this lens issue is for the camera men, not the filmmakers.

Come one Tom, get real. From reading this form, there's idiots from both the Noobs and old timers camp. But I thought that guys with at least 1, 948 posts wouldn't be asking for feature like interchangeable lenses on a camera with this price point.

And by the way, if you read the forms, there's guys here with over 200 posts asking the red team to put Nikon Lenses on the scarlet. I guess having many posts doesn't make you the sharpest tool in the shed.

I'm sorry but who are you to decide what people can and can't afford, are YOU their budget Advisor?

If RED ship the scarlet with a detachable 8x lens like the CANON XL series then Indies can keep the lens on because "they can't afford other lenses" and people who can afford other lenses can change the lenses.

Also, if indies can't afford 35mm glass, then why were the REDROCK M2, the LETUS Extreme, and the Brevis invented? are they pro-only accessories?

I'm sorry but your post is very ignorant, we're all entitled to our requests and we know what we can afford, so please don't go around telling us what we can and cannot buy
:ranting2:

I would like to see an audio option on the Scarlet as well.

[Nik Manning]

I understand what he meant but I just don't think it came out properly. He is saying the masses tht will purchase the scarlet cam will be super indie film makers. If you want to be a big time DP then move up to the RED cam. Makes sense and I even think that is how RED is selling it. Now I can see schools like Full Sail buying 30 Scarlet cams for there film classes. I would love to have a HPX500 with a built in lens for 8k or something. RED you folks have done it again.
