Has anybody worked with them? I've been looking into them for my next lens and would like to know more about them.Im looking at all of them the 24mm, 35mm, and 85mm. Also my current glass is the Tamron 17-50, and the tokina 11-16.

Not being a dick but search bar/google. Theres so many blogs/posts about them.

I own the 35mm/85mm non cine and love them. Same lens/quality,cine just has the gear and declicked aperture.

I might just throw out that the focus pull on these is pretty long because they're cinema lenses, which is great if you have an AC pulling for you, but not necessarily ideal for run and gun ski shooting.  If you've never shot with cinema lenses before, I'd suggest maybe renting one and trying it out before buying a set.  Some people love them and other people prefer shooting with still lenses, which have a much smaller throw.  The image quality will be pretty comparable, but the mechanics are very different.  It's really up to your preferences and the type of shooting you're doing.
