50mm RED Pro Prime extinct?

[Daniel Doherty]

Does anyone know if RED is in the process of replenishing the 50mm and 100mm RED Pro Primes or are they simply clearing inventory of the remaining focal lengths? Apologies if this has been announced or covered. Can't find any info on availability.

Thanks!

Some months ago, Jim said they were preparing for another production run of the current RPPs (no release date mentioned) and hinted that they were preparing new designs that would be available in years to come. I can't find the post in the flood of search results that "red pro primes" produces, but hopefully that answers your question.

Thanks, Alan. I do remember reading something about that. I hope they are coming soon.

hmmm ... i can't find it in that questions thread ... I had quoted that post though on 04-17-2012, 06:49 PM :

We are ramping up production again on the RPP lenses... so we expect to be out of backorder on them in a few months. We sold more of the RPP's than we ever thought we would so our sales forecast planning went to shit. For price/performance the RPP's still to this day are hard to beat... so we are bringing them back up by popular demand."

Would be nice to get a monthly lens update (for the 50, 85 & 100) ... I'm looking to buying more lenses in october/december ... I really like RPP ... but not knowing is making me debate other options - which i'd prefer not to do.
