I use the Rokinon 16mm T2.6 lens on my Panasonic EVA-1 and it creates beautiful images. Has a great wide field of view for the camera. Definitely the best bang for your buck on a budget.

I got this lens for my GH4. With a focal reducer, shooting at 4k, this lens translates to about 25mm. Its sharp, the bokeh is pleasing.

There are two 16mm Rokinon cine lenses - this one which is slower, cannot take screw on filters, and covers full frame sensors, and the other lens with is faster, takes screw on filters, and will not cover full frame sensors. Both 16mm lenses are faster than the Rokinon 14mm, making either a good choice if you need both wide and fast glass.This lens has a built in hood, good feeling focus wheel, and takes good images. I’ve found it to be plenty sharp fully open and consistent across the frame, though I doubt this lens would come close to a famously sharp lens like a Sigma.If you don’t care about the sensor coverage, I would go with the faster and filter-compatible of the two - bit of you do need full frame coverage and want something fast and good looking, this ... MoreThere are two 16mm Rokinon cine lenses - this one which is slower, cannot take screw on filters, and covers full frame sensors, and the other lens with is faster, takes screw on filters, and will not cover full frame sensors.

I'm getting sharp video with these lenses
I was very excited to get this lens and try it out on my Sony cameras...but I have to say I was very disappointed in it's returns. Colors are flat, distortion is high, and there is heavy vignetting at T2.6. Not at all what I expected. There is a reason why it's so much cheaper than your typical cine lenses.
I have a number of the Cine DS lenses and they are not consistent in quality. This is the best one that I have. Unlike the 20mm, this one does not get soft at the edges at wide open (but then again, wide open is 2.6, not 1.9 or 1.5).Surprisingly it also has less distortion than some.
My two new cinema lenses are for Sony full frame.Actually I first chose this for the particular focal length and rectilinear properties. Then I decided to try video making. Why not?*I've had good luck with Rok/Sam products. Not tested yet (where is summer?).These are solid, substantial lenses. Gotta love 'em, and the examples I've tested have not been de-centred.-
Hi - I am tardy with some lens tests, but today my wall and scenic tests with this lens were most satisfactory.I originally chose the 16mm t2.6 not for cinema, but because it seemed to be rectlinear. And it is!The lens has the expected vignetting but is good wide open and well resolved at t4. The sharpness is a revelation. Great lens.
I don't think anything else sub 1k competes. If that's your market. This is a really great lens.
Stelar optics for an outstanding price. Works wonderfully with my Sony FX6. Outstanding glass for the price point.
