Hi, everybody, so this review article just dropped from Newsshooter.com and I can't help but be impressed by these lenses as they tick a lot of boxes compared to much pricier cine zooms, especially considering 77mm filter threads for potential adapter add-ons, particularly anamorphic adapters. While I'm pretty sure they won't be exciting for some as the review seems to place them in the middle of the vintage vibe and ultra sharpness range, I can appreciate just a competent full frame cine zoom option to go with my Rokinon Cine DS lenses or in combination with certain SLR lenses as still zoom lenses really are hit and miss short of the highest end zooms of the major brands. It's also nice that they include an EF mount option for non-PL cameras short of the various mirrorless mount options also offered. Definitely will look into these for a certain project in the works and I'm looking forward to more user field reports until then!
