Best lens suggestions for 6k

Noob here....so would appreciate your help.
What are the best prime lenses that you have experience with on 4/6k?
I am considering the Xeen CF lenses.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Anyone have experience with IRIX lenses?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

From my own tests the Xeen and regular Samyang/Rokinon lens are very very close in terms of performance. The Xeen has more aperture blades, better materials in construction (more metal) and better weather sealing. But the price increase only seems to result in marginally better bokeh. There are also newer versions of the cheaper range with more aperture blades and weather sealing for like a 100 bucks more.

The Xeen seems priced for those that expect to pay more for a Cine lens rather than because the cost is justified!
