​EF70-300L for sure, the king of the 70-300 lenses, no other competitor.  You can find comparison on http://www.dxomark.com/ ,  much shorter size than 70-200L.

 

​I ended up buying the Sigma 70 -300mm apo macro, very sharp, great auto focus and an amazing 1:2 macro lens also. Paid $150 new and delivered! This is the bargain of the century and takes sharp sharp photos! There are 2 versions the newer one is little better but bascically same lens. https://www.flickr.com/groups/1501578@N25/pool/

I had the sigma APO film lens before.  No comparison with L lens in 300mm end's sharpness and bokeh.  But The price is told.

I'm drooling all over these lenses. The 55mm is a T/1.1 and these lenses can adapted to EF and look remarkable and cinematic. Even though the guy on Nofilmschool said they are impracticable, I think quite the opposite.

Yeah they look great, are you going to make an offer?

As much as love those tevidon lenses. I think these kerns may have 'em beat? How do you like them. Maybe later in the week, I'll get out my d mount kerns. 

Yeah, even if they vignette a bit more I think they win. I also simply love the way they are built. Those focus distance markers are engineer brilliance.

I don't know what they are called but the little orange dots :)

That's them. I think it's called visifocus and they are amazing. There's also something very nice about the aperture clicks. Sure, a smooth aperture would be better but the way the blades click into place is subtle. Great lenses!!!

I've been looking for some 16mm, c mount versions in case I ever get the bmpcc. Do you still have your pocket cam? If so, would you mind doing a test with the kerns on it?

I have, there is some shots with them on the pocket in the unboxing video. But I will probably use them more on it soon.

Thanks to Andy Lee I bought Tokina ATX Pro 28-70mm F2.6-2.8 + Zhyongi speedbooster. I used them firstly in this promo video project and I think this is awesome connection!

The difference between Panasonic lenses used from 0 minute - 2min. 28sec of the video is obvious and gives the picture completely different character:

It looks great, very organic, filmic.

I was searching for a Cine lens for my Canon 700D (T5i).

But I found that the Canon ones are a little bit to expensive for me..

So I found some Cine lenses from Samyang (Rokinon).

Samyang has a lot of the same looking lenses but there are the two versions I liked but where I almost can't find some differences: 

- Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR AS IF UMC

and the 

​- Samyang 85mm T1.5 VDSLR AS IF UMC II

Does somebody know the difference between these two? The second one seems to be a newer version but is also more expensive..

The only difference I can find are some little changes in design..

Does somebody have one of these lenses and knows the difference in image quality?

Are these lenses also usable for crop sensor body's? I know there are made for full frame but I was wondering what the results were on a crop sensor.

I already have the Sigma 18-35 F/1.8, Tokina 11-16 F/2.8, Canon 50mm F/1.8 and some cheap zoom lenses and I hope that the Samyang Cine Lens give me that extra Cine-look that I'm looking for.

 

Hope somebody can help!
