This is a great little lens, especially for video/film... but it just isn't working out for me. Purchased it new from B&H about two months ago.
Info (from B&H):
The SLR Magic Cine 50mm f/1.1 Lens for Sony E-Mount supports cine-style shooting on Sony E-Mount cameras. It weighs in at less than a pound and covers full-frame sensors with a fast f/1.1 maximum aperture for shallow depth of field. It features geared focus and aperture rings, a clickless iris that allows smooth aperture pulls, and a 13 bladed Iris for a rounded aperture and pleasing Bokeh.
The lens is suitable for portrait, interiors, architectural, and landscape cinematography and photography. The front of the lens does not rotate as you focus the lens; this allows you to use optional polarizing filters, or accessories such as clip-on matte boxes. It incorporates a 52mm filter thread diameter for using a variety of readily available optional lens accessories.
