Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the lens length?

A: The Meike 85mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens (E Mount), is a special order item that we unfortunately do not have direct access to. The manufacturer does not state the actual size, but based on other Meike lenses which we can test, the packaging takes up about 2-3" in length and the packaging length is 6", which would put this lens at approximately 3-4" in length.

Q: 2. On a Black Magic Pro 6K, will I HAVE to use rods as the lenses are too heavy? Or can I live without rods?

A: Yes, the DZOFilm Pictor 20-55mm and 50-125mm T2.8 Super35 Zoom Lenses are heavy. It is recommended to use Rod based lens support options to be safe when using this kit with the Pocket 6k Pro camera.

Q: 3. Are these available in EF mount?

A: This kit comes with both PL Mount and EF Mounts.

Q: 4. Will these lenses work with the Blackmagic focus and zoom demand units?

A: The DZOFilm Pictor lenses are manual control. The Black Magic Zoom, and Focus Demand require electronic servo motor driven lenses. Follow focus solutions like the Tilta Nucleus-M would be required to control the lenses from tripod handles. Tilta Nucleus-M Wireless Lens Control System Partial Kit V BH #TIWLCT03K5

Q: 5. Which 2x extender works the best with the Pictor zoom lenses?

A: the lenses ship with a standard PL mount, if you are able to acquire a standard PL mount 2x extender, any of them should work. we sell the IBE OPTICS Focal Length Extender for PL Mount Lenses (2x)

Q: 6. Would this lens work with the ZCAM E2-M4 w/.71x speed booster?

A: Although the Meike the 50mm T2.1 Super 35 Cine Prime Lens will fit onto the ZCAM E2-M4 w/.71x speed booster, you will see vignetting since the lens is not a full frame lens, but rather a Super35 lens.

Q: 7. Is there a standardized outer diameter for clamp on matte box adapters?

A: No, the clamp on matte boxes tend to cover a wide range of lens diameters via the included thread adapters so there isn't really a standardized size. The Meike 85mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens (MFT Mount) have 77mm filter thread which should make it compatible with most clamp on matte boxes.

Q: 8. Is there no back focus adjustment? If not, is a shim kit available for adjusting the back focus by removing the mount and placing shims behind it?

A: Back focus adjustment is not present. Product is shipped with shims in the package.

Q: 9. Hi, I want to use the pictor zooms with a GH5s as a b-camera, and I read somewhere that the pictor zooms with EF mounts won't work with the EF-M43 adapter (Metabones T Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x Adapter). Why is that? Thank you!

A: The lens element of the speedbooster touches the rear-element of the lens.

Q: 10. What is the close focus of these lenses?

A: These are accurate measurements: 20-55mm: 2ft/0.6m -- 50-125mm: 2ft8in/0.8m

[10] 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] I started using Meike MFTs with the BMPCC 4k and loved having more control over focus and iris. Although I think the MFTs are good I think the S35's are even better. My favorite is the 35mm but having the 25mm is great for tighter spaces or gimbal work. Gears feel great and line up with the 35 and 50.

[Super35/APS-C] I have all 3 of the available PL mount versions of these lenses. I used on 2 proffesional shoots and WOW WOW WOW - I still cant get over the IQ for the price but with only 1 gripe---lets get out of way-- (no focus marks on AC side) not a big deal using FF on op side typically or remote FF if I have an AC so its not really an issue) If you are looking here you like consider the DZO Vespid line. TRUE they have a full set. However they have a very vintage look with oval bokeh and bad CA(on a few focal lengths) Those are smaller lighter and MARGNIALLY sharper true) however these lens have very little CA very little if any breathing depending on FL- propper full 330 rotation on focus, they are bigger but still small- However dont look SILLY on my RED like the Vespids do. I cant say this enough MEIKE hit a homerun here and I have ZERO regrets. Just wish the whole set was already available (24mm coming end of NOV 21) ---you cant go wrong here.

[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.

[T2.1] Feels real solid. I used to love the old Veydra mini primes and this is a worthy successor. Smooth focus and exposure rings. The flare is pretty decent in my opinion. The Bokeh is nice. For under $600 I couldn't ask for more.
