Once again, Frank comes through! Thanks a lot, Frank, for genuine service to the community of shooters, and thanks, Jaime, for the link to the charts.
I got a set of 4 Samyang cine lenses (14, 24, 35 & 85) for use with my BMCC, and I did some preliminary tests with each of them, graded the shots and peeped frames on a good-sized screen, and they looked fine, but I did not do any sort of detailed test. I was mostly just verifying that the lenses were OK. BTW, I got all 4 for under $1900, which is some sort of steal!
When I need the speed, especially, these will come in handy. My view of omitting the 50mm is that since everyone already has a good 50mm, they left it out. Of course, the idea of a set of geared cine lenses is totally valid, and 50mm should be in there, but I am just offering possible justifications for leaving that one out so far.
Thanks again for your fine work. I also appreciate your appraisal in your comments.
