For the price, these lenses are unbeatable. I absolutely love them. Great look, even wide open. Smooth action. Great build quality. My 85mm, mounted to a Canon c70, took a hard fall onto concrete on the last shoot. It's got a dent, but that bad boy is still rocking like nothing happened. Absolutely would recommend these gems to anyone looking for a fantastic, all around cine lens option.
