I've tried all of the other Samyang/Rokinon Cine lenses available and own the 24mm as well (which is not nearly as sharp as this one). This 85mm is the sharpest of the set, and even wide open it is not bad at all. The build quality is the weakest attribute and is probably a 7/10 and doesn't really compare with other cine lenses (that are also much much more expensive), but the colors and details that the lens captures are on par with lenses in the $4,000 range. Contrast ratio is also comparable when intercut with more expensive lenses, but I haven't done any proper tests. This is really the only Samyang/Rokinon lens in the set that is a no brainer buy for video work (based on the performance to value ratio), but I would not recommend this to a buyer who often lets others handle his/her gear. I don't think this lens will last long with any level of abuse. I would absolutely recommend it to others, but I wouldn't expect to get a lifetime of work out of it like the other cine alternatives.
