I know folks have been talking about wide angle lens options for this camera for a bit now, and I know it's recently released, so there's still a bit of time, but I've really notices a lack of lens options in the 24mm Full Frame equivelant on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I really like this focal length as it has a really cinematic vibe to it. But according to the crop factor, a 24mm divided by a crop factor of 2.88 equals 8mm. And as you know...there's not a lot of fast lens options, available in that range. I know there are a few vintage lens options floating around, but they seem to be on the more expensive "cine" side.
I've also played around with a Tokina 11-16 with a Nikon Mount Metabones Speedbooster, and that's pretty nice, but can also get a little pricey with the Tokina 11-16 costing about $599, and the Metabones Speedbooster costing about $450 or so, but essentially takes care of that focal length.
Are there any other options that people are trying out in this wide angle focal length?
