You really can't beat what Meike is doing here. The image quality at that price are simply a winning combo. Amazing that the only complaint would be not having the whole set out at once.

Nice review. I use the Rokinon Cine DS lenses and would say many of the same things about them. I shoot FF Sony, so not really apples to apples on either front. That BMPCC6K is a truly magical thing. It will be interesting to see how they round out this series of lenses and how consistent they are between the various focal lengths. Keep up the great work!

Excellent reviews I really enjoy watching your lens reviews. I saw the 35mm review and I was hoping to watch the 50mm review. I personally like the 35mm better but I own the sigma 18-35 at this moment with the pocket 6k. So I was thinking on getting the 50mm instead so I can cover CU’s etc. watching your review made me think about the 35mm instead. I love 35mm field of view on the 6k. 50mm sometimes can be way to tight cuz it becomes an 80mm due crop factor. Do you think the 35mm will better to start playing around with this lens? I also feel like the 50mm could be nice for interviews. Thanks Hope to see more of your reviews when they released all the primes.

Thank you for this review, very interesting. It must not be easy to shoot handheld with this lens, well done !

Good video. Can I use the m43 meike cine lens on my bmpcc 6k pro using a common adapter (no speedbooster)? vignetting?

I really like the idea of this lens for my Canon C70 - I would use it with a standard RF to EF adapter but I also have the Canon "speed booster" 0.71x adapter which would make it feel more like a 50mm as opposed to a 75mm on the C70. I would use it mostly for interviews on tripod. One thing in your review - the price now seems more like around 1000USD

I have found your channel really helpful! I have a specific question, on the meike lenses the hard stop goes past the infinity marking on the lens. Where do you feel infinity is at its sharpest? On the mark or hard stop?

love u you guys :D

Beautiful review, as always. Isn't it an S35 lens? Why would there be a crop factor on the BMPCC 6K if the camera has a S35 sensor?

Got it and if you just had to pick one lens that you would use for a while, would it be the 35mm or the 50mm. What is more flexible?

Good stuff - thanks for the review. Aside from the physical ‘cine lens’ qualities, how do you like the image of these meike lenses compared to your contax Zeiss? 28mm on super 35 is my favourite field of view too, seems to work for everything

@OfTwoLands

Thanks !! To me the Meike lenses are very different than the Contax. The Contax have more character and a more distinct look. The Meike are more consistant in aperture and size but also heavier and require a follow focus. I might do a video comparing to the two sets at some point :).

Again, great content! Thank you! I know they are two completely different lenses, but how would you compare the Meike 35mm to the Sigma 18-35 at 35mm? Comparing a Prime to a zoom is never an easy thing, but I wonder if I should start with the 50mm as I have the 18-35 covered, at least with the 6K crop factor.

@OfTwoLands

Thank you !! The Sigma is a lot more clinical and has a flatter image. I think it depends on what you do. I film my interview and product shots with the sigma and I probably wouldn’t use the Meike for that. However I would pick the Meike over the sigma for faces and details :).

Thanks for the review. Will this lens fit sony a 7 ll?

Hi, which luts do you use?

Slightly off-topic question: what's your experience been with IR pollution on the bmpcc4k/6k? I noticed here that you used a vnd instead your irnds and wonder if you had any issues with ir pollution because of that. Also, how does the nisi vnd compare with any other vnds you've tried in the past?

@OfTwoLands

3 жыл бұрын

It's actually been pretty good. I did have a few occasions a while back and that's why I decided to get the NISI filters in the first place. Didn't experience any issues with IR pollution using the VND, of course I prefer using the cinema filters though. And to be completely honest with I don't use VND that much, even though they're super handy. I had an old BW Lightcraft years ago and it was pretty bad at the extremes. This nisi one is nice :).

Looking forward for your video on Meike 75mm s35 ef mount of possible with Bmpcc6k.

@@OfTwoLands Hi mate, I was going to ask the same thing. Still not sure I understand. If the lens is designed for a S35 sensor, I thought that using it on a S35 sensor camera (like the 6k or 6k pro), a 50mm should feel like a 50 mm instead of an 80mm. I would understand that with a full frame sensor lens. I might get it wrong, would be great if you could expand on this. Thanks mate, great content, as usual!

Whats the crop factor? Is this true 50mm?

Hi mate, I wonder if you can recommend any wide lens to use with the bmpcc 6k pro. I wonder which one to use to get an actual 16mm feel and one for 24mm real feel without the crop. Any particular brands and models that you've used for that? Thanks a lot =)

A 35mm is always a 35mm, a S35 lens just means they are built differently than FF ones and cover a smaller sensor. So the 35mm will still 'look' like a 50mm on a FF if that makes sense.
