25mm T2.2 Large Aperture Manual Focus Low Distortion 4K Mini Cine Lens for Micro Four Thirds MFT M43 Mount Compatible with Olympus Panasonic Lumix Cameras and BMPCC 4K Zcam E2 GH5 GH6 GH7

$400 each for these lenses is an absolute steal! They are solid aluminum, with very high quality construction. Paired with Tilta Nucleus Nano, this is an amazing lens. I have also purchased the 12mm and 50mm lenses as well, and I plan to own all 6 once the 65mm is released. I have two minor complaints: - The other two lenses are labeled in decimal hundredths of an inch for distance, where as this lens uses inches. - Also this one does not offer a metric scale like the other two. Instead it has the imperial distance markers facing both directions so you can see them from either side. Bonus Info: - Minimum focus distance is 10in or 25cm. - Just a side note, in case you were making this consideration, the 12mm lens is not very good for use with a Glide Gear teleprompter. It can see the top as well as the front tablet bracket. The 25mm works fine without any problems.

I've never had one of these manual lens and I love it. Well made, heavy and smooth focus adjustment setting. I'm an amature videographer and this puts out great quality on my cameras.

This is not cheap feeling lens, it's made of durable metal and smooth clickless rings. Awesome for the price.

The Meike Cine lenses are probably exact optical copies of the now defunct Veydra Micro Cinema Lenses for M4/3 camera mounts. The background of Veydra's demise is unclear (More information on the history of Veydra products can be found in YouTube videos). Considering that the original Veydra lenses sold for $ 1,000.00 - the pricing for the Meike equivalent is an amazing bargain for budget conscious videographers. The 25mm T2.2 is one of 6 Veydra designs. One hopes that all 6 Veydra cine lenses will eventually be available via Meike. Highly Recommended !

This lens is wonderfully sharp and has a beautiful metal construction. I like the cine-style geared rings for my follow focus system. Compared to the 16mm for some reason this 25mm has poor build quality issues. I've gone through 2 copies of this lens and both had some sort of manufacturing defects. The first copy had small bubbles under the lens elements that could not be cleared without disassembly and the other had a loose part rattling inside (see video). Overall it may take a few tries to get a decent copy free of defects, but once you do find one, it should be a fine lens for the price.

This lens is fantastic. If you have ever used the Veydra 25mm t2.2, than you'll be right at home with this little guy. It's quite sharp when wide open, and gets even sharper if you stop down a bit. The color rendition is good and the contrast is fairly flat. It'll produce a very nice, smooth looking image. The bokeh is quite pleasing, and isn't overly smeary. The lens does have a bit of chromatic abberation when used in very high contrast situations, but that is easily dealt with in post, and isn't overly apparent. The focus rotation is 300 degrees which feels a little big for single person operation. I would have preferred something closer to 200 for solo/handheld, but if you're operating with a follow focus, or with a focus puller, you'll be just fine. The gears are nice and smooth though, and are completely silent during operation. The iris ring on my model is a fair bit looser than the focus ring, so it's easy to accidentally stop down the iris, but that might just be a problem with my particular unit. Overall, I'm very pleased with this lens, and for the price, there's not much that compares. It beats the rokinons by a mile. Pros- Sharpness Color Rendition and Contrast Build Quality Price Cons- Chromatic Abberation Focus Throw is a little long (300 degrees)

I was hesitant considering the low price of these, but I have been impressed with how solid these lenses are as well as the picture quality. I also purchased the 16mm.

These are excellent lenses and good value for money, at the moment. However, the price is rapidly increasing on these, so if your going to buy one, better do it soon. I purchased the 25mm and the 16mm last week they were selling for $330-$349. I see they are now $399.

This was my go to manual lense for my bmpcc4k! Quality is unbelievable!

Attenzione c’è scritto apsc e non va bene per Sony fx30

While I bought this for another camera, I stuck it into my desktop camera in place of a decent, not cine, 25mm prime, to check it out a bit. It is staying there and I have to justify getting another one to myself. Do I need to say any more? My current desktop setup comprises a BMMSC with the Meike 25 mm lens with a 1/8 black ProMist through a BlackMagic bidirectional SDI-HDMI converter and into an ATEM mini. Yes, I am using BlackMagic colour in the camera, but most of the settings are now well back towards nominal from where they were with the last lens. It appears to be solidly built, focus and iris are nice and smooth, but they are unlikely to get any exercise where it is now sitting.

Really happy with the results. Images look rich.

Easily one of the best bang for buck cine lenses for m4/3. The focus throw is long and isn’t too easy or too difficult to move out of place. The aperture ring is the same. Maybe a little tougher, but that’s appreciated. The lens is a little soft wide open, but I use it around 2.8-5.6 most of the time, and it’s tack sharp. Will definitely be adding some more of their lenses to my kit
