Meike Super 35 Prime Cinema Lens-12mm T2.5 for Canon EF-Mount / Arri PL-Mount Cine Cameras

No complaints, outstanding quality perfect for the blackmagic 6k

Das 12mm ist mein sechstes Objektiv aus der S35 Serie und ich bin begeistert. Die mechanische Qualität ist beeindruckend und die optische Leistung ist für den Preis beeindruckend.

I’ve been using Meike for a while and my love for the image it gives me is incomparable. The value is amazing for what you get. The customer service is exceptional. Planning to buy a few more in the next few months. This 12mm is great too.

I have the 18mm and the 35mm EF S35 Meike. I tested them against the more expensive Zeiss and Canon EF prime lenses. I prefer the Meike, I like the feel of the lens in your hands and the bokeh. The lens is slightly soft which I like too compared to the colder hue and sharper images one gets with Zeiss prime lenses. The only thing is one needs to install the shims for the backfocus, which I still have to do.

I am working on a documentary about architecture and this lens matches well with footage from the 100mm and 35mm I use to record 2-camera interviews on 2 Blackmagic 6K pros. Sharp as needed and the 2.5 is a huge help in low-light. This being a native S35 lens means no more mentally guesstimating the crop factor of a full-frame lens... you get a field of view that is precisely what the lens says it is. The build quality is impeccable as are all the Meike S35 lenses.
