OK, I'll ask... what makes it a "cinema" lens, just that it is intended for professional video work or something else?
A true cinema lens has much better build quality than a typical photo lens. Cinema lenses are manual focus with extremely smooth focus mechanisms and very precise focus control. They also stay focused when zooming in or out. The zoom is always internal. The aperture is in T stops instead of F stops. The T stops are supposed to be more accurate. The iris rings are click less. The glass is normally exceptional.
The Fuji cine lenses are actually very cheap for cine lenses. Cinema lenses can run up to $100k.

I like this phrase.... Advanced robustness
@Bobby Tingle I had to do a lookup on T-stops. 
Thanks for the explanation, the tech geek side of me loves learning that type of info'. I may not be skilled enough to put that knowledge to use, mind you, but I still like learning it.
@Luke Now that's a marketing phrase!
It's not just robust, it's advanced robust!

I feel like I'm approaching advanced robustness myself.

I used to resemble that remark.
Now I'm searching for the definition of "declining robustness", and my glasses of course.

Cinema lenses also have a gear on the focus, zoom and aperture rings to be able to control those remotely (wireless). An example.

My standard 'splainer video
* Manual focus, long-throw, teeth for focus-pull
* T-Stops - constant/consistent between lenses
* Focus breathing minimised
* Often similarly sized across a family for filter-threads, gearing, hoods etc to minimise rig adjustment everytime you swap lenses
