I had that lens (16mm version, not Arri but much smaller, pics later) professionally converted to c-mount maintaining infinity (using a mount I have designed) and here some first results using it...
The absence of visible LCA (water + wood bee reflection), the creamy bokeh, sometimes a bit swirly background (later), detail sharpness and esp. that very special color reproduction makes it a special lens IMHO. Not wonder filmmakers go gaga about Kinoptik! There is hardly visible vignetting btw.
The roof shot (fully open, focused that that golden globe), tree and Peonia shots are full format, the rest are 100% pixel crops to see details.
