Just the body I would assume. Lenses are usually a whole new can 'o worms. THOSE suckers cost an arm and a leg no matter r what camera you are shooting on if you want good ones.


Those can be rented... in fact where this will really change things is when the local grip rental houses start renting these things out by the day/week.

Even if the rates are more expensive than the equivalent 35mm kit, the cost of film stock far outweighs the rental costs.

So now for the cost of a day rental, an indie filmmaker can shoot at 3k quality, and only be limited by hard drive space (which is way cheaper than film, and is renewable) rather than the $600/min cited above for 35mm film stock.

True, indeed. :)


The specs on the RED link above lists "8X T2.8 Red Zoom Lens" so I think this comes with a lense.
