Dang, if that hint was any heavier it would've dented the floor when it hit. Looking forward to it and whatever else NAB brings (as long as it's not a Canon that'll make me wish I had bought it instead, doh!).

BGundu, send me a link so I can send a picture to post. Jeez you guys are so impatient. We are not doing any new lenses but wait till you see the pictures that this one makes.
;-)
PS this would definitely be a rental lens.

Yes, the lens is worth 5X the cost of the camera, but you really should see the images it makes. Its like, there is no way a <$5000 camera could make that picture. ANd I am happy to say it is the AF100 along with this lens of course. ;-)

pret...ty. Makes the Arri MMB-1 mattebox look a sunshade on that thing.

That looks familiar! Our Arri Alura 18-80mm T2.6 Cine Zoom has been working with our AF100's since January. We use an Arri MMB-1 with it as well, and Zacuto FF, Hot Rod Cameras AF100 Tuner Kit/Element Technica Hybrid Baseplate/12" Dovetail. No breathing, no ramping, color matched to modern Ziess primes. Great combo!

I am a lens whore and I approve of this message!
Maybe you can show a comparison to, say, a Panasonic 14-140mm?

There is none. The lumix lenses self-implode into little pieces in the presence of that piece of glass.

I found a video with the AF+Alura combo that already have been posted here but here it is again:

According to Stephen Hawking it's the gravitational pull from the Arri that shreds lesser so-called "lenses". That thing looks like it might have an event horizon

Was going to say thats the same as Dino's lens.

Has to do with that lens being a strong attractor - photons tend to become drawn to plummet into it in the hope to meet a goddess called "The Great Sensor" and by that becoming transcended into the big story.
