Well, count me in for sets 1-5. :)
 
In my humble opinion, some people are worried. This democratization hurts so many interests... Some people are nervous. They will lose their own native market with the competition of affordable equipment with similar results in the hands of a few of kids. Still, a large group of new upcoming digital movie makers.

It will always come down to talent. We are just trying to open up the doors for more talent to appear.

Amen! That's why I don't quite understand some of the vitriol over at cinematography.com. Those guys have nothing to worry about unless they fear an excess of opportunity to new talent.

Long live the indie and guerrilla film movement!

Very well said Warren. It's not like most of here started shooting yesterday, I have been shooting professionally since 1997 in most formats ( film/video)... I was laughed at for buying an XL1 in 1998... They don't laugh anymore.

Following what has been taught at my film school, this is an exceptional occasion. The old times are changing.

Definitely interested.

it does hurt us, think of how many talented bands that have GREAT songs. They don't make $0.50 a day, most anyway! that said. Most people I know don't have awesome talent or dedication video/band/life etc I think it really comes down to DEDICATION to your CRAFT, and the ability to see what is "good" and bad, then you can make choices and improve your work. it's a hard road to hoe, film making is about a TEAM not one guy and his drum set.

I don't know what will happen, I am just glad I can get a 12megapixel video camera!!!!
 
Still, I'll bet they're (bands) glad for the chance, which they wouldn't have had at all if lower cost technology hadn't put it within their reach.

You're right--talent AND dedication AND persistence helped by opportunity.

How many sets do you think you would need to sell to make it financially worthwhile?

<------------------ market.
but rather one set over here, the zeiss T1.2 and T1.5 will cover camera 2.

btw jim, employees of lense manufacturers told me some "rumours" about red @ ibc... basicly they are puzzled if you can build the lenses or have to outsource to one of the 5 usual suspects... the camera market, they all agree on that, can be shaken up, regarding lenses they are rather sceptical due to the cost for a factory & employees.

A set of decent prime lenses, hopefully with a least 2 focal lengths wider than the bottom end of the zoom (18mm) is an attractive option. As a potential buyer I would need to know if they would be sold piecemeal or only in sets and at what price point. Tally me as a probable yes.

From a supplier point of view, we would try to make a full set much more attractive than individual lenses. I'm thinking out loud. We haven't committed yet to the program.
