Hello, back in 2011 I started a project with a Red One MX and ultraprimes. Now I want to complete that project, the Red Scarlet MX is problably the more similar option to the Red One MX. I prefer to work with a zoom this time

What would be a similar zoon lens to the Ultraprimes? I am watching to the Arri alura zooms, is this the right option?
 
The Fuji Premiere zooms have been called as good as primes and at least one big-name DP has said they are sharper than Master Primes. But we're talking about huge, almost $100K 'studio zooms'. Definitely not something you can run around with.

I think Charles has some of the Aluras. Maybe he can weigh in.
 
I would suggest the Fuji Cabrio 19-90. There's also a wide angle and a telephoto if that doesn't cover enough range. I feel that would be a better match. Otherwise look at the Angenieux lightweight zooms. They have several models.

How do you feel the Canon 17-120 stacks up in there?
