Meike Super35-Prime Cine 35mm T2.1 Reviews

Nearly perfect

By Isaac
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-06-09

Absolute gorgeous lens that produces sharp, cinematic looks. The only reason I'm knocking a star off of this is because it needs to be shimmed out of the box. The focus gear goes past the infinity marker. I'm fine with ignoring this issue, seeing as how it can be fixed if need be.

Great price point!

I feel like this is a great lens for the price. Smooth and decently sharp. I would recommend it as a place to start for cinema lenses.

When buying this lens, is it a true 35mm, no crop factor?
Asked by: Sheri
This lens is 35mm and will always be a 35mm. It is the size of the sensor that determines the Field of View (FOV) of the image. This lens is meant for Super35 sensors. Since Super35/APS-C sensors are smaller than full frame, it is the sensor that "crops" the any lens's image circle to that size. Since this lens's image circle cannot cover a full frame sensor, its image will always be cropped by a Super35/APS-C sensor. For the record, the image of this 35mm lens on a Super35/APS-C sensor will be equivalent of a 55mm lens on a full frame sensor.

Doesn't the crop factor only apply if using this lens on a FF as these lens were designed to fully cover S35?
Asked by: CHRISTOPHER
The Meike 35mm T2.1 Cine Lens (EF Mount) is a S35 crop lens and would not work correctly with full frame cameras. S35 has a 1.5x crop making the view of this lens would be 52mm on a APS-C or Super 35 sensor camera.

Asked by: Steve
Unfortunately, a shim set is not included in the EF and PL mount versions of the Meike Cine Lens series.
