Hallo,
I came across these lenses several weeks ago. After some google searching and a couple of chats I decided to buy them. I think you will have a hard time to find something cheaper in this category. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for them (shipping takes almost a month now) so I cannot give you any impressions so far. Maybe in a week or two I will be a bit wiser so probably I could put down some short comments.

Wish I would have known about this lens before I started buying Zeiss glass.

I picked up one of these lenses second-hand, and while the mechanics aren't the best, the images are fantastic.

Does anyone know if the DigiOptical DO1850F 18-50mm T3 PL Mount Zoom Lens
is a parfocal lens?

I believe that any Cinema lens is also parfocal.
