My guess is that the lenses are rehoused Minoltas. Sony own the company so it would make sense, doesn't it?

I shot a 11 camera concert on Reds a while back, and had every lens under the sun going, including all the Red zooms at the time. The only lens that did not hold up was an old Cooke 25-250. In general, any lens designed within in 5 years or so, which is applying to the new wave of zoom rehousings, and any of the Red, UniqOptics, etc primes coming out, are sharp almost to a fault. I have yet to see one that is less than razor sharp. At worst, they just seem to lack any character (aka pretty flaws). |

So this, and just seeing them in person and seeing Fuji green in the markings has me guessing Fujinon. |

I see a lot of lenses coming out with this "anti-character" look, I believe thats what the sony's look like too. Its not that bad, its just not anything spectacular either, but technically good. |

For what it's worth at the F3 launch last night in Sydney the Ultra Primes were mentioned as being a good 'fit' with this camera by Jason Wingrove.The stated benefit was the light weight of these lenses meant the camera can be used without rods and FF gear. A matte box can simply mount on the lens. This gives a rig that is very fast to use, a big plus for how were shooting, grabbing shots as the opportunity arose.

By those standards, Zeiss Standards and Superspeeds would be even better. You don't even really need a mattebox for some work, many times the only filtration I'm using on a Canon is NDs, and now that's built into the body on the F3.
The Red 18-50 can be found easy for around $2800. I expect it will be a very handy lens for this thing. |
