Is a 300mm Lens worth it for video?

[@CineDailies]

UPDATE: I changed the title. The original title was (I paid $49 for this 300mm red pro prime)

[@CPSWEDEN]

I’m also very angry about the title 😂😂 That lense looks awesome! Congrats to your new beefier biceps 💪 That setup will bring new creative ideas. It’s good to make life a little difficult. Keep it up bro! Great channel!

[@CineDailies]

Appreciate it!!

[@MrMacroJesseSky]

Enjoyed the video, but don’t appreciate the clickbait title. You traded in two lenses and the remaining difference was $49, that’s not a total cost of $49, huge difference

[@CineDailies]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that's what I hoped for but , whether I paid $764 or $49 - the point is I traded in gear that had no value to me. If that upsets you, its not my problem ha. But again thanks for watching.

gotta do something to stand out among the other influencers

[@MrZerosami2]

The ol switch and bait move. The original ol' reliable 😂😂😂 He got you there mate, though let's be realistic A red branded cine prime would never cost 40thish dollars so........ Honestly I ignore the titles lately and the thumbnail sparks something in my primitive brain that makes me click click...

[@ngonzale3]

Agreed. If I trade in my mirrorless for a different camera it’s so I can purchase it for less. So yes he paid $49 for it.

[@eddiecarrascojr]

Started filming on a Nikon d750 to now filming on Red. Which is owned by Nikon. Full circle.

[@CineDailies]

Kinda wild right haha

I've used MPB for nearly 8 years now. It has been my go-to for used gear, buying and selling. But recently I have had really terrible experiences. I bought a drone that was listed as "like new" and when it showed up it was permanently labelled as a "display demo" from a store. Not only this, but the gimbal was broken and the horizon line was unfixable. MPB only has a 14 day return period of which I missed and they told me there was nothing they could do. They do have great gear at great prices, but be smart out there.

[@CineDailies]

Dang that sucks! But Thanks for sharing, not every company is perfect.

[@rattlersunited]

I always shop with MPB because they are solid all around, and every gear is always as listed!

[@CineDailies]

Right! Its my first choice to trade or sell

[@bolefuego]

I bought the whole Red Pro Prime Cine Set recently with the 300 mm. Love them.

[@CineDailies]

Nice!

[@OhkayCarlos]

Thanks for this! First time hearing about MPB

[@CineDailies]

Bro they got some QUALITY gear man

[@DLivingston]

I have been using MPB for years now and they're a solid! Also, as a sports photographer, I love 300mm and I shot some 4k on my Canon R6 last baseball season with the 300mm and it was awesome!

[@CineDailies]

lets gooooo

[@cinobro6393]

6:40 Yeah it's weird but you can get 3d printed and milled adapters that screw into the filter thread and go down to 114mm OD to let you clamp on a mattebox

[@the-creative-block]

So these lenses (the Red Pro Prime series of lenses) were deeply influenced and in some cases direct conversions of Tamron lenses of the time. The coatings, focal lengths, and most of the focus and zoom functions were from Tamron's manufacturing standards. I think it would be super interesting to see a side by side comparison of your cinema lens to a comparable tamron lens. Great video, as always.

[@CineDailies]

Current! This is rehoused tamron. All of the other primes are designed from the ground up. I know Michael, the optic designer. Tamron does make good glass! It would be cool to do a side by side

[@journalweddingfilms]

I see this lens available from MPB in the UK...... tempted!

[@CineDailies]

👀👀👀 its a fun lens. Can't wait to travel with it

Sweet vid :3 pls go back on the rokkor lenses, I‘d be so stoked for a video on them :D

[@showshow8804]

Dont appreciate the clickbait title

[@CineDailies]

Omg how is this clickbait? Read the title, I did not say the LENS is $49 rather I PAID $49. Then I explain how. Goodness grief, y'all always have something to complain about.

[@showshow8804]

Well sorry for the negativity. But usually when a notification pops up, the thumbnail's quite hard to see on a phone. But you still good man. Kinda dissapointed that it wasnt an auction haul.

[@BenFarmerCreative]

Fam you stole that lens lol, $49 after trading is awesome!! I used the original RED cine lenses on my first student film in college and really loved the variety of those lens options and the way they looked. Glad you like this one and excited to see you talk about more lenses in the future!!

[@Ausqualitystock]

That sunset boating footage looks amazing man. Great pick up on the lens, I'm a huge fan of used gear. Let someone else take the retail hit

Thanks bro! Yeah love this lens

[@Ed-davies]

Oh man that footage at sunset with the XH2s was gorgeous! From memory I’m sure the red pro primes were modded / rehoused Minolta A mount lenses?

[@CineDailies]

Its a rehoused Tamron ha

[@Ed-davies]

@@CineDailies that’s it! I knew it was something like that, was it the old adaptall2 lenses? Regardless, your footage was gorgeous!

[@WesleyClouden]

Meike lens’s made rear V-ND demo can hit them about that did for that lens and even Dan from atlas lens had one made also that might still have for that 300

Have you tired the focus pro on it yet?

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Only up to 100mm

@@CineDailies That would have been dope to have a 300mm AF Cine Lens maybe with a firmware update. 🤞

i don’t like it.

I bought Leica SL3 for 1$, traded my car so I could afford it.

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

Exactly! Somone sees the Title for what it is. Misleading!

[@jakeaustin8956]

Man, I think you should keep the original title. Don't let the complainers influence you. Def was not clickbait. you explain it very clearly in the beginning of the video. regardless...it was a great video and the footage looks absolutely sick.

[@CineDailies]

Yeah it got to me. But I changed it back. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

That Clickbait is insane! 😂😂 For anyone interested this Red Pro 300mm T2.9 PL goes for $800 used. Not $40 like the video Title implies. He traded two other lenses and the DIFFERENCE was $40.

[@CineDailies]

Goes to show no one watches a video anymore. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@CallMeRabbitzUSVI]

@@CineDailies If I didn't watch the video, how would I know about the trade in? The trade in isn't listed in your Clickbait Title. Like come on, you know exactly what you are doing with that Title and Thumbnail. If it was titled truthfully like "I traded in 2 Lenses for 1 Lens I want and only paid $49 difference!" We wouldn't have had a problem but then you might not have suckered people into clicking the video thinking you got a Cine Lens for only $49. When will these KZbinrs just be honest about their intentions? We the audience can see right through it.

[@KeirTheDouche]

Title seems a little click baiting. It's implying your trade in had no value.

[@GetWisdomTV]

Why did you lie? You paid a lot.

[@CineDailies]

Huh?

[@GetWisdomTV]

​@@CineDailies You are excellent youtuber, but how come you said you paid $49 in the thumbnail.People will misunderstand you. Thanks.

[@CineDailies]

@@GetWisdomTV i traded gear that I wasn't using. Then paid the difference. Anyone can do that… And there no misunderstanding - I explained exactly that in the video and share the original price.

[@LiamMarskog]

There was no lie. You can clearly see in the video that he traded in two items and that the difference was $49 so he did pay exactly $49.

[@hvranic]

Cut the clickbait crap. You don't need it.

Dude, I have no relationship with the creator of this video nor do I know you. What I will say keep your negativity to yourself. You do not have to watch. It literally takes a second to click on a video and the same to close it. No harm was done to you. Please stop the foolishness.
