While I didn't order this lens from B&H, I wanted to leave my thoughts here regardless so that I can maybe help others. At the time I'm writing this, it's been almost a year of having this lens, and I can honestly and objectively say, this is my favorite lens that I've used with my Blackmagic Pocket 4K. It's excellent. Optically beautiful. While it has a more flat look than other cine lenses with more character, I don't have a lot of money to rent lenses for projects, so owning a lens that can behave like a chameleon is great. I can use this lens as a base, and then design the look of the project with lighting or post-production. Technically it's also great, with basically no focus breathing and low chromatic aberration (still present, but easy to correct). Build quality is great. The only true competitor is Rokinon, which are plastic. This lens is built like a tank, with a metal housing, nice 77mm filter thread, and buttery-smooth focus and aperture gears. It's small and compact, which helps keep my rig minimal, but if I want to build it out with a matte box and follow focus, I can because of its standard cine-style design. There's a couple quirks, but they're minimal. The lens caps are a bit odd. On the front cap, I would prefer a slip-on design like other cine lenses, but this has a squeeze/clip-on design similar to still lenses. The rear cap is strange too, it only attaches in one specific way. It's hard to explain, but I have to fiddle with it to get it to stay, which is inconvenient when I'm in a rush or in the dark. Overall, this is an excellent lens, and I plan on getting a couple more in the lineup to complete my set. I have zero regrets purchasing this, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly choice that feels and performs better than Rokinon. Sorry for the long review! I just had a lot to say. Bonus points if you read it all. Have a great day, everyone. 5

Bought this for my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema for live broadcasting and needed a nice prime. Happy with it so far. 5

Lens build is solid and works well. Some focus breathing, but everything else is rad 5

After using this lens right out of the box and on a shoot, I am impressed to say the least. For the value compared to the smooth focus, and the image quality, for the money, is the best I've seen in lower price range cine lenses. 5

Just came in today. I have to say it's not an ARRI Signature Prime. So, take this with a grain of salt. I say that many of you are like me, our budget is not in that league. For the price super sharp. The throw is nice and a real solid build. Amazing lens for the price and now I will be adding more to my bag. 5

I bought this lens for my Blackmagic 4K, and I love the quality footage it produces. You can't beat the price for such a fast cine lens! It's well-built, too. 5
