Value Packed

Rated 5 out of 5

I purchased a trio (24, 35, 85) L mounts, as a test for Lumix full frames before jumping to Red ecosystem. This was really great for moving me into cinema lenses and learning to smoothly focus as a 1 person shooter in most cases. I LOVE the 85mm, and even though we primarily use Canon CNE primes and the 30-105mm, Im not afraid to mix in the 85 mounted on a S1H at 6K for a 3rd shot angle..extremely pleased

Another great lens in the Meike lineup

Super happy with the image from this sub $1000 lens. Great focal length when paired with the 24mm,35mm, and 50mm. Hope to get a lot of life out of this!

The Meike 85mm T2.1 FF-Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount) covers full frame sensors and all smaller ones. It has the resolving power to work with 8K sensors. The focus breathing is minimal.
