Getting some Rokinon cine lenses, what mount?

[ReelFilmGeek]

I know for most lenses people recommend to get nikon F mount as it is the most compatible and was just wondering if this applied to the rokinon cine lenses because of the aperture ring on the lens or would it still be wise to invest in a nikon F mount version of these lenses.

Yes, I bought my samyangs in Nikon mount, because they work perfectly on Canon EF cameras using a dumb adapter, whereas the Canon mount lenses won't work on Nikon cameras.

What's the difference in flange distance between Canon EF and Nikon F

 

[ReelFilmGeek]

I believe its like 2.5mm

^ indeed: Canon EF is 44mm, Nikon F is 46.5mm (this table has just about any number relating lens mounts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_mount#List_of_lens_mounts)

Anyone have personal accounts of the 24mm? It seems to have a mixed bag of reviews? I duno if its worth spending that amount on it.
