  1. Yes I did! Just picked them up today, except for the 135 which I need to wait a bit for. Gonna put them to use on a job tomorrow. Thank you and everyone who put in their two cents.
  2. Tyler, thanks for your input and nice screen grabs! I spoke to the store and told them if they can swap the 25mm T2.9 for the 25mm T2.1 since it should make no real difference to them, it would go a long way to convincing me to relinquish my cash... and guess what, they did!
  3. Yes that's true. I did consider them but I'm not sure about their durability and longevity. I could be wrong but from playing around with them I prefer the Zeiss CP.2 over the Rokinon.
  4. Hello! I'm looking at building up a set of affordable cinema primes for use on documentaries, corporates and tv shoots I do. I narrowed it down to either the Xenon FF or the Zeiss CP.3 because of the following qualities. - Wide range of focal lengths - Interchangeable lens mounts - Light weight for travel My local camera store threw me a (pleasant) surprise curveball by offering a brand new set of 6 CP.2 lenses with the Zeiss Pelican case at what works out to be about US$16K!!! Lenses included are: 15mm T2.9 25mm T2.9 35mm T2.1 50mm T2.1 85mm T2.1 135mm T2.1 My question for those more experienced with these lenses is whether you think this is a good deal? Would you jump on it if you were in my shoes? Aside from the size and weight difference between the CP.2 and CP.3 I've read somewhere that the optics are basically the same so with the offer I feel like difference between the two models isn't worth the additional price.
