Tokina Cinema Vista

A lot of people sleep on these, for whatever reasons. But once they actually get them on a camera, they tend to change their tune. These things are everything you'd want from a modern lens— they're sharp, fast, cover the biggest sensors, but don't have the clinical blandness that one might expect. They have a gentle focus falloff and very pleasing bokeh. Very little geometric distortion and almost no illumination falloff due to their generous image circle.
