We will begin accepting reservations for the 18-85 zoom lens next week. Price is $9500. Current reservation holders take priority. Then, all reservations for the RED ONE, 300mm and 18-85mm zoom will close on Oct. 31.

Cool. So you'll accept reservations for the RED ONE regardless of quantity, until Oct. 31st?
 
Yeah, sorry, I meant regardless of quantity of RDCCC reservations. I thought you might have a cap of 500 or 1000 or whatever. Great if not though.
 
As soon as the email hits my inbox I'll be throwing a deposit onto the zoom lens. I'd like to be getting the 300mm as well but that will have to go onto the wishlist for now since there are so many other things that HAVE to be purchased... starting with a computer that can actually do anything with +4k footage! I was looking at buying a new system in January or March but I am now going to hold out until the Red One is released so that I can purchase every last bit of processing power per dollar. I'm thinking that two chip Core 2 Quad systems should shipping by then.
 
Okay. I don't know if I could have $1,000 ready in time for Halloween. I pretty sure We'll have $35,000 in time for "early 2007" though.

Jim/Ted/Whoever,

Will you guys send a notice to the redcore email group about zoom lens reservations?

Will the zoom deliver with the red one or sometime thereafter?

BTW, did you send an IBC announcement? I didn't see one.
 
The reservation is $1000K for the zoom too right ?



RED # wish I was higher

I'm curious, Jim... What happens after reservations? This magic April (ish) month.. Is this the estimated time for all reservation holders and after that anybody can purchase Red?
 
Sorry, if this is a stupid question, but why close the reservations? I mean, unless one has the ability to pretty much satisfy demand of any size, reservations are the way to go. I guess I just didn't think the production could ramp up so fast as to totally meet demand. But then again, I'm not a businessman, so what do I know :)
 
Well, by the time I can even think about getting one (if ever) they will probably be readily available, so I probably won't even need a reservation #, so nanny nanny boo boo :)
