A couple questions

Thanks, By the way.. the pictures on our site are our motion control head. We will have pics of the focus units up in a month or so.

What in the manufacturing process make a good lens so expensive? It is basically some glass and metal. How does it hit $20K+

There was a good article by Larry Thorpe explaining this on last month's (or this month's) Broadcast Engineering. I don't have time at the moment to look it up online, if I find later I'll post the link.

EDIT: I found it here: http://broadcastengineering.com/hdtv/broadcasting_hdtv_lens_design_4/index.html

Just curious how much is it to purchase the 8R lens. I can't find the price anywhere. Does anyone else sell something similar, but more affordable?

You don't purchase lenses like this... it's too new, I doubt Arri would sell it.

But an alternative option ready to deliver will be interesting. Even if from the 35mm still photography side.

I would be very interested Curt. Glad to hear the update. I will be saving my lunch money!

Please PM me with an e-mail address for further info.

Cheers

I add my interest on that.
