Focus Issues

By Jeff
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-13

The copy I received needed to have it's back focus adjusted. Even after shimming the marks were still off. I could get the back focus correct for the close focus range but once it got past 20' the marks were noticeably off in the opposite direction. It could either be correct for close focus or for far but not both.

The Vespid's are NOT as good optically as these. PERIOD

This glass is has little CA , is built well and neutral so you can use these lenses in the real world... the DZO vespids are smaller and have a full set already...true!(as of writing only the 35mm,50mm,85mm and soon the 24mmare avail) But for about the same money you get lenses that are marginally softer and I mean barely... but but THE lack of CA cant be understated... the size and weight is small for cine not as small as dzo but I LIKE the fact they dont look like toys on my Red Gemini... I have all the current PL 35-50-85 and I used recently on Green screen all 3 performed brilliantly... these are the best BUDGET cine lenses I have ever used and Meike is straight forward about how they are able to that. Personally I can manage with just the 35 50 and 85 for most corp stuff etc but my cine work I am waiting on them to release 16mm Hopefully the 24mm ships in Nov but times are tuff.... Anyway- I cant belive the IQ and Build Q at this price - I have NO issues with filter threads as another reviewer mentioned however a good basic matte box for these on the cheap is the Tiltaing Mattebox that takes 1 4x5.65 if you just need a solution -note-you need the 85mm outer adapter for the Tilta to work in clamp on mode*its in accessories I think... anyway this is a fantastically clean lens that gives me build and mechanics needed to work in the real world...so long sigma art photo glass. !!!

Awesome glass

Beautiful chunk of hardware. Combining the 85, and 35 from this set has been an absolute blast. I will probably pick up the 16 next

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!

Do these lenses cover 4k 6k and 8k sensors? Do these lenses feature breathing in the backstage?
Asked by: Edgardo
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.
