Samyang now has 5 lenses for Nikon F mount that are designed for video. They have relocated the aperture to the side for easier viewing. The lenses are rated in T numbers instead of f numbers to denote the actual light transmission and there are movie standard gear teeth and no clicks on the aperture and focus rings.

Samyang Cine Lens Kit for Nikon or Canon 85mm T1.5 - 35mm T1.5 - 24mm T1.5 - 14mm T3.1 - 8mm T3.8

These lenses are the same glass as their regular lenses so any reviews would still apply except for the 8mm which has a removable lens hood, which allows it to work on any FX Nikon. All are FX and function in still mode as well as movie. All are manual focus

I have the 8mm T3.8 fish eye and am enjoying it. I'm satisfied with the quality of the pictures and the price with shipping and import duty from ebay was less than $500 US. These lenses are about $100 more than their non-movie versions. Planning on ordering the 85mm T1.5 next;~)
