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.
