They are fast, amazingly sharp, a great new look, they have beautiful bokeh and the kind of build quality that rivals Arri & Zeiss.

The build quality is similar to the top offerings available today. The physical size, look and feel is similar to ARRI Ultra Primes. Dense, but compact. Whereas Zeiss CP2/3 are airy, light and feel hollow (not in a negative way), and the Cooke S4 and MiniS4’s are dense and feel like there is no air space inside, I’d say the Sigmas Cines fall somewhere in the middle, closer to the S4’s. They feel confidently built.

The look they give is sophisticated but still has some character. The set has almost no distortion.
