[25mm] It has very very little if any breathing... almost no CA a full 330 rotation on focus covers a huge 45mm image circle and on my Red Gemini Looks fantastic...not over sharp like like my old Sigma art photo glass. - plus its proper metal housing has screw in filter options but I use a MB. You ca NOT go wrong here this punches well above its weight class. And unlike DZO Vespid does force you into a look- they have a very neutral look similar to lenses ive used like the Schnieder Xenon's for PL mount Cine these are a steal all 3 (yes I bought all 3 current avail 35-50-85)

[77 mm] This is a perfect step up from photo lenses into Cine lenses. If your wondering if you will see a difference between a set of Sigma Art glass and this... You will! I personally think the falloff and flaring on these lenses are perfect for the Modern/vintage blend with a slightly warmer tone then DZO Primes I find these to be a little more welcoming to skin tones.

If you're wondering if this is worth the price tag. I'd say so!

[2.595 lb] Surprised with the sharpness and image quality

[33.6 mm] This lens has served well through the last 4 months. This lens produces a fantastic image quality. I am very picky when it comes to glass and the biggest thing I am looking for in a lens is little to no breathing. This lens produced no noticeable breathing when focused. Produces smooth, easy and precise focus pulls. Gears are smooth and easy to turn. Nucleus Nano had zero issues working with this lens and with such a large end to end pitch, it makes grabbing focus easy as pie.

[77 mm] B & H delivered my Meike lens on time and in excellent condition. The packaging was great and the lens is perfect. Couldn't be happier!

[77 mm] The Rokinon/Samyang cine lenses in this price range are basically their photo lenses with cine gears. Nice for starters--I have two of them--but these Meikes are bonafide cine lenses and not much more money. Main differences are less focus breathing and longer focus ring throw. Much easier to nail focus pulls.

[Super35/APS-C] As far as affordable S35 cine lenses go, this one is the top dog. Unlike a lot of other popular lenses in its price-range, it has character; not a super-sharp clinical look. It flares nice, and has a great bokeh.


HOWEVER: I wish I would have known that Meike has no intention of releasing the other focal lengths anytime soon, which is a major negative. It's pretty absurd to release only one lens of the set and put the rest on the back-burner. So if owning the set is important to you, I would hold off until Meike releases the rest...whenever that may be.


Based on that, I would give a 0 star review, but the lens alone is outstanding.

[2.595 lb] I bought the 35mm,50mm and 85mm lens from the Meike Full Frame Line and I have to say I am very impressed. The body has a good build quality, and the image has what I I feel is an appropriate amount sharpness and contrast.

I used these lenses on a feature film in September, and the lenses did everything I needed them too.

I frequently use these lenses on a Red Komodo and a Black Magic Pocket 4k, and occasionally on other camera systems and I have been happy with the image they produce on every camera sensor I have put them on.

[Super35/APS-C] Has a nice weight to it, solid and smooth focus etc. Paired with a 50mm Meike and another BMCC 6k camera for a tighter second shot. Works really well, didn't need to use the provided shims

[T2.1] Love the look of it. Just completed a set of it.
