The SLR Magic APO HyperPrime CINE 50mm T2.1 is a soon to be released high end PL mount cinema lens. The expected price is $1999, less than half the price of a Zeiss compact prime. The Cooke S4i Mini 50mm T2.8 is $7850 at B&H and the full set is around $45,000. How do they compare?

I’ll be reviewing the new lens very soon on EOSHD, the sample unit having arrived today.

Psst… I’m having an end of year clear out Where would we be without the end of the year and the impending doom that is Christmas? Enjoying summer? Revelling in the most fruitful year for filmmakers and camera geeks on record? I’d much rather 2013 just carried on!
