Meike MK-50mm T2.2 Cine Reviews

works great with my Canon R5C

Rather than go with full frame, I've been shooting with the more economical APS-C lenses and they've been working out great. Be sure to adapt your settings on the Canon, as it is full manual. I have become a huge fan of cine lenses because they are built beautifully, with smooth focus and aperture rings. Super sharp, handles focus pull cleanly with no perceivable focus breathing. Love these Meike lenses! I'm buying them one at a time, as budget permits. And thankfully, they are at a very reasonable price given their high quality and special purpose. Not feeling any urge to go back to photography lenses these days, and certainly questioning whether to return to OEM Canon lenses, since these are 1/10th the price.

I notice that the description of this says "Micro Four Thirds Sensor Coverage". Does this mean that this will be a 50mm on my MFT sensor camera? Other lenses from this lineup seem to have APS-C coverage, so I am confused as to which sensor size this will cover.
Asked by: Anthony
The Meike 50mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens (MFT Mount) is a 50mm lens and as such, any 50mm lens will appear as 100mm on a Micro Four Thirds sensor. Micro Four Thirds sensors will always display approximately 2x the focal length equivalent when compared to full frame sensors (which is the standard "measuring stick" for lens focal lengths), based on the numerical data of the lens focal length, regardless of the mount type or intended sensor. The term "Micro Four Thirds Sensor Coverage", in this case, means the lens would be appropriate for a Micro Four Thirds sensor.

Asked by: Zak
The Meike 50mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens (MFT Mount), is currently back-ordered and we unfortunately do not have direct access to it. 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 7", which would put this lens at approximately 4-5" in length.
