GH2 Debating which 35mm 1.4 Lens

[radames_e]

I currently own a few Nikon AIS lenses and I was wondering if you had the choice between Nikon 35mm 1.4 Ais and a Rokinon 35mm T1.5 Cine Lens. Which of the two is the better lens? Also how close is the picture of the Rokinon 35mm T1.5 to Nikon AIS lenses?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any experience with the nikons but the images I have seen whith the Rokinon Cine, plus the fact that it has an unclicked aperture, smooth long focus throw and built in gears means I would choose the Rokinon.

I use a vintage Nikon 35mm 1.4 considered a classic by news photographers. It is a superb lens. It is a little lighter than the Rokinon from what I read. I had my 35mm 1.4 declicked by my local lens tech for $25 in twenty minutes. They go for about $450-500.
