Olivier,
The general feeling about the Foton is that it's an Okay zoom. With a 
tendency to be warm. So if you are trying to match it up to other 
lenses, it's gonna take a bit more color correction.

It's definitely not a prime, and, with a T-stop of T4.4, it's a little 
slow in comparison. But, it has a 37-140mm zoom and you can buy a front 
Anamorphic adapter for it (they appear on ebay from time to time, which 
makes things really nice).

I have an OCT18 one here that I've played around with, but it has an an 
oil ring around the front element (which only effects the wider shots). 
I've snapped a few pics with it, but can't seem to find them on this 
computer, which means they may be on the other computer and lost in the 
picture archive from hell.

If I have time later today (or maybe later this week), I'll try to set 
the lens/camera up properly and snap a few for you.
