TLS Leica R

It's hard to not like a Leica. They have an impeccable reputation for beautiful image rendition, gentle highlights, warm skin tones, and so forth. This set was originally designed for still photography, but caringly rehoused by TLS in the UK for cinema use. Cinematographers have commented that these lenses in particular are the sweet spot of sharpness and contrast for use with modern digital imaging systems. The housings are user friendly and robust, and this set includes the "lux" 35, 50 and 80mm for a little extra WFO creaminess.
