I'm pretty sure these are made for 35mm cine.  18mm isn't a wide on 16 
but ok for 35.  These are mostly going to be used on large-sensor 
digital cinema cameras like the Red One and the newer Arri products.  
They can be used with optical adapters on smaller sensor video cameras.  
They should cover 4/3 nicely, and probably APS-C.

They look to be competing head to head with Zeiss primes which make 
Leica still lenses look cheap.
