Hi Guys,
I know it's just speculation, but what are the best cinema lens that can be used on the up and coming 4k Camera.
I'm guessing any zoom, are there any other high quality glass out there that can be used OR cheap still glass which can be compared to cinema glass in terms of look.
Cheers!

I wouldn't call stills glass cheap. It depends on the look you like and the price you're willing to pay. Canon Ls look good. Zeiss ZF/ZE look good. Rokinons look good. Zeiss Master Primes look good. Leica looks good. It all depends on what look you like.
Functionality is one thing, look is another. Most still lenses will resolve more than the sensor can anyway since they're made for stills.
It really depends on what you're looking for. A good start in terms of still lenses is the Zeiss ZF/ZE and Leica R lenses. I personally think Leica R lenses rock. The image is smooth and clean but the detail resolved is incredible. Some other lenses I've used tend to have a sandy texture and less clean/smooth image. Leica R lenses are my favorite on the BMCC at the moment.
