Affordable is of course relative, but these lenses are about 3,000 dollars each. The unique thing about this line is that the lenses are a unified weight and size. That means they have different focal lengths (all primes no zooms) but they weigh the same, and have the same dimensions so you can change out a lens without affecting your set up on a gimbal, etc.

The owner of the company states that these lenses are for professional productions and no EF mount version is planned.

I thought the example footage showed nice flares and bokeh.

Having the lenses weigh the same is great but the weight distribution would have to remain the same as well, would it not? If one of the lenses has heavier glass towards the front of the lens then it is not going to balance the same on a gimbal or steadycam, even if it has the exact same weight as another lens. Interesting to see if they've achieved this or if there's just too many variables in reality.
