Has anyone tried out the Xeen Cine Line of lenses on the LS300?

If so, Why do you like it or why do you not like it?
Is there a green tinge on your footage?
Was it worth your purchase?

Looking at picking a couple of them up and want to get some feedback from you guys to see if you have tried it on the LS300 and what was your experience.

OK so I got the Xeen 50mm Lens off Lens Authority for a little over $1200. I finally got a chance to do a comparison between the 50mm Rokinon and the Xeen. Here is what I found.

The Xeen and the Rokinon are almost the same as far as image. The Xeen may have a slight edge on sharpness, but only visible if you are peeping at the pixels. The Xeen's focus and Aperture ring are the huge difference. The Xeen is perfectly silky smooth. I also found that the Xeen needs to have a matte box. It has the same sucky haze flare that the Roki's have. To me it looks like it is the same lens rehoused. I can see the different coating on the lens when comes to the image being captured. It just has a light green tint. I'm glad I did not pay the $2500 brand new price tag for this. You can get them now from $980 and up. I noticed that the 85mm is going for around $980 on Ebay for Micro Four Thirds.

Well I will be sending this lens back to morrow and I wanted to share what I found.
