Yes, those are the ones. They are sharp and very smooth. I really like the images from these lenses. I think they have beautiful contrast and color rendering. They have a decent amount of throw so pulling focus with them is really good. The only thing about them is that the focus ring spins in the opposite direction. I have a reverse wheel on my follow focus. Another difference with designed cinema lenses is that the throw is not uniform to all lenses, of course the aperture is declicked but not geared for aperture pulls, but I've done them. Also the lenses extend a little during focus. Some more than others. I use nuns knickers with my matte box and that takes care of it.

The reverse wheel introduces an unacceptable amount of play sometimes. I'm looking forward to getting a remote focus system in the coming year that will mitigate those problems.

You can't beat the performance for the money on these lenses and they are built beautifully.
