meike 85mm t2.1 full frame cine lens is my first cine lens and never regret investing such awesome lens, solid and joy to use

I received the Meike 85mm T2.1 Full frame cine lens recently and the build quality is really nice. I also own the 50mm T2.1 cine lens, and both produced really nice images! They are heavy, well constructed pieces of glass, and share the same housing, so changing lenses while follow focus remains in the same spot is a treat. It's something that you should not take for granted... same lens threads for variable ND filters, same feel and .8 dot pitch gears built in....and a 270 degree focus rotation, so you can smoothly track focus as objects move towards and away from the camera...these things really help when on location shoots. I feel that these lenses as a prime set will hold their value for at least 10 years.

The 85 lens is a great piece of the full kit.
I have the full set up to now (24, 35, and 50) - Nov 2021
And I have found the whole set to be quite solid. Beautiful consistent imagery across all of the lenses and all about the same weight, great for gimbals and steadicam balancing.
Solid piece of gear, all metal and solid PL mount.
As with all of the other lenses, only small thing ... no AC side. But small price to pay for a quality glass at this price point.
I don't use it much, but when I do, it's a solid lens. Great for those punch in moments in any project.

I was using a Sigma DG DN 85mm f/1.4 for video on my S1H, which resulted in a great image but I was frustrated that every time I powered down the focus changed and also it was hard to achieve manual focus. The Meike solves these problems and I prefer the image a lot!! I’m keeping the Meike, considering buying a set and selling my other photo lenses!!

I just used the Meike FF 85mm T2.1 RF mount cine lens for a night time shot. The lens was fantastic, even in low light and at night. The shots came out great. This is my 3rd Meike Full Frame lens and I could not be happier. Keep them coming Meike! Next one the list - purchasing the 24mm!
