Hey Dawson! Thanks for the suggestion! I actually own a 77mm anamorphic filter from Cinemorph and I love it. As for the speed booster option - I would get one, but I heard you lose the sharpness that you would get from a set of primes with it. Is that true?

I believe its the flare option that can make your image less sharp, but I'm not sure i look into it for you! :)

I was looking at the 14mm T3.1, and so far, I've heard good things. The Rokinon Cinema kit is a great range to start, 24/35/50/85, and costs less than one CP 2 prime. If you haven't touched one of these lenses, they are light, and the gears work nicely. I have no personal footage, but from the reviews, they look like the full frame lens has no vignetting, and looks pretty sharp throughout most of the frame. If you have the $2000 for the lenses, I think it's a good initial investment.
