The article says they’re adapting to mirrorless cameras

It doesn’t matter what they’re being put on. I put cinema lenses on Red’s, DSLR’s (5DmkII/t3i back in the day), mirrorless (GH6/BMPCC4K), the works. “Cinema lens” indicates a build type, not what they can mount to. Like the declicked aperture the previous person mentioned.

For instance, Rokinon released a fantastic cinema lens line for consumer/prosumer cameras in the 2010’s, they were rehoused versions of their photo primes. They’re built entirely different.

Sure there's a difference, but when you can buy the base lens for $100 and 3D print your own cinema housing for $50, it becomes a lot more odious that IronGlass is charging what amounts to around $2100USD for a metal rehousing that is at most $50 worth of materials and a few hours work per lens.

The "Cinema" industry is notorious for gouging its customers, and this just yet another particularly egregious example of that gouging.
