The focus ring is capable of rotating 300° for intuitive control. Markings on the lens are fluorescent and in both feet and meters.

[46.0 mm] Fits great with the Blazar Remus Anamorphic lenses with the R5C! Have had no issues with the mount seizing to the lens like I have seen in one or two reviews. I think as long as you don’t over tighten it you are good. Everything fits snug too so no play between the lens and the adapter or the camera. It even has a waterproof seal between the camera and adapter which is cool. Would recommend if you don’t need autofocus or ND. 5

[18mm] My second Meike MFT lens, possibly even better than the first. Nice solid lens. Bokeh is smooth, but unobtrusive, as seen in the two photos from a Panasonic GH5S, one with focus point @ 2.5 meters, the other at 5 meters. Focus scales seem to be more accurate than the Zeiss CP 2 prime I've had for years. 5

[77 mm] Excellent quality feel and the sharpness is outstanding. Works well with the Small Rig Mini Matte Box system and Follow Focus. The price is a plus too.. 5

Rick	03/09/2024
[Full Frame] I was looking for sharpness and found it. While some of my other lens may be faster, I rarely open them up all the way. Shooting this lens at 2.8 resulted in very sharp images. 5

[Full Frame] Been ulsing the drop in black mist filters on Athena Cine lenses, and they're awesome. 5

Erick	13/08/2024
[77 mm] Very good image and build quality. Focus and aperture rings are super smooth and responsive. It's my first cine style lens and now I understand it's appeal. Highly recommended. 5

[2.55 lb] Surprised with the sharpness and image quality 5

[T2.2] This was love at first sight. A fantastic lens that solves my tasks. If I were to describe how lenses work, I can only say: turn ordinary binoculars and look through them. Shows a wide-angle picture with options for taking Micro pictures. With best regards. Karl A. Allan 5

[Full Frame] Works very well for getting into tight spaces. The lens is fairly sharp - not the sharpest, but offers good value in terms of probe lenses. F40 requires a ton of light. You'll also want a motorized rig of sorts for any movement as the macro lens is very sensitive to small bumps. All in all - good value compared to the Laowa. Only down side is it an APS-C lens, so you'll get some crop when on a full frame lens. 5

Andrei	24/07/2024
[2.55 lb] Recently got these lenses and have used them for almost two months across various projects, from commercials in New York to a short film in Miami. Here's what stood out: - Exceptional build quality. - Impressive brightness with an aperture of 1.9, resulting in beautiful bokeh. - Consistent weight across the lenses – a real game changer when working with gimbals. - Comes with a good quality practical carrying case for five essential lenses. - Top-notch optical performance: no focus breathing noticed, acceptable distortion. For indie filmmakers, these are a top pick. Highly recommended. 5
