UPDATE: Preorders are up at Adorama too (Click here).

A first hands-on review of the lenses can be read at Explora (Click here):

I found the Rokinon XEEN Cine Lenses to be well made, easy to work with, and overall I enjoyed the image quality. They rendered naturalistic images with good contrast and a pleasing, slightly warm feel. Intercutting between the lenses required no additional color correction beyond applying the same LUT to the footage. It is my preference to shoot more closed down than wide open, and I did feel the lenses performed best starting around T4, but I was still satisfied with footage shot at T1.5. Overall, I was pleased with the XEEN lenses and look forward to working with them again.

We have a couple of new firmware updates:

The Tamron 14-150mm firmware 1.2 improves autofocus performance on Panasonic cameras:

Jurek (video on top): “Still loving the GH4/SLR Magic 10mm T2.1 combination. Although slightly overshadowed by the recent Voigtlander 10.5mm release (purely a numbers game), I cannot get enough of how well this lens and camera combination performers. Hoping to be able to fly the combo on a CAME-TV Single 3-axis gimbal when it finally arrives, but in the meantime here’s some footage from a trip to Saint Martin earlier in the year. https://vimeo.com/133807078”

Fredrik: “I just finished my first food video and want to ask you if you could share it with your readers. The video was shot with two GH3’s, 12-35mm f/2.8, 25 f/1.4 and 45 f/1.8. It was lit using Fotodiox 1000ASVL with Lee 1/4 minus green filter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pS0cGcsCS8”
