So first.. BH has some crazy prices right now on the black friday lenses.. But I have no idea what would be good or not. There is a Zeis 25mm Distagon at $900 off.. $800. Not sure if that is photo or cine.. doesnt say cine so guessing its for photo.
Anyway, so I bought the LensRegain booster because in comparisons it is "comparable" to the MetaBones, but it was only $150, for $700 or so. I figure.. for my current EF lenses (Rokinon 85mm cine, Canon 28mm USM, and kit lenses for my old T2i and a nifty fifty), this speed booster is good enough. Some of the lenses I think are full frame and some APS-C. I still havent learned if APS-C is bigger/smaller than S-35, etc. You guys got the science and math down for lenses to sensor sizes, and crop. I just want a couple lenses that work well.

As a hobbyist who hopes to get lucky to shoot some fun project for someone willing to let me do it for free just to get some footage and practice, I am thinking the Sigma 18-35 may do the trick in EF.
The crazy side of me though.. thinks.. get the MFT-PL booster, and buy a couple $4K PL cine lenses.. and then my bank account gives me call and slaps me upside the head with a bit of reality...
Plus I really want (and am hoping) the Mova AIR X gimbal lives up to all the hype (and pricing is on part with LAB 3).. and want to get a few c-stands and 2 Aperture 120d or 300d lights. So thinking.. 1 cine lens, or all that other gear.. all the other gear makes more sense to me to be able to do more than just one good cine lens.
