Meike 10mm and 35mm T2.2 review for Micro Four Thirds

I've been chipping away at my cine lens collection over the years and here are my two newest additions! Here is my review of the Meike 10mm T2.2 and the Meike 35mm T2.2 for micro four thirds.

Here is a real-world review of both of these Meike lenses.

I shot a full wedding with the Meike cine lenses, and I think the footage is insanely good! The whole Meike cine lens set is such great value for money. Brilliant lenses for the price.

This set is really growing on me! Especially now I have my rig. What do you think of this lens set?

[Tusa_Mamba]

Not only are u concise but u have real star quality in front in camera . Refreshing personality and delivery🫡

[Astrolavista]

Yes please to the rig video, I'm wow what a well thought out and glowing review, right down to the wedding speech! :)

[markziemba]

I love your analogy of the mullet. I like using the mist for a wedding and your shooting wide open.

[lumixographer]

Watching you is always FUN!!! Even if I'll never do a video production, watching you work and listening your enthusiasm captures my attention! Keep 9n keeping it real!❣👍😡

Footages with the cine lenses look incredible. Wonderful work Emily!

[punkforsale]

Perfect timing as I've really been looking into getting these lenses! And yes to a camera rig video please :)

[markwiemels]

This is phenomenally well covered, thank you.

[adrianpocea]

Footage looks stunning. You are an injection of energy of fun and one of the greatest reason for people to emulate you in the micro four thirds system

[RavikantRai]

Emily, the only drawback to having that sort of follow-focus is that you lose one point of contact entirely to support the camera well and it strains one hand. The only viable solution I found is to have a wireless side focus handle, wherein the focus pull is incorporated into the handle itself so you never lose two points of contact with the camera.

Just got the 12mm for my bmpcc, cannot wait to try it!

Hi Great Video,
I have the 16mm Meike and was very pleased with it until I bought the Zhongghie Speedmaster T1 17mm and I landed buying the whole set of Zhongghie...they are more in the warm side which suits me and got almost an FF Bookeh with T1.0.
The Meike in comparaison is more green...using it in GH5, BMPCC4K.
I will still buy some other Meike Ciné Lens because they cover a huge range of focus length Wich is great...but in Zhongghie territory 17-35mm they are inferior...T1.0 is soft but nice to have.
Yours Fil

The bride and groom must be thrilled with your footage. Being a friend and insider shows. Nice one.

I've been using the 16mm on my Gh4 for a while now, but seeing how a full set is 2300, I now know what I'm saving up for next!
Just spent all my money on a Gh5 ii though, so it could be a while!
These lenses are spectacular! As for looking too clinical, try using a Tiffen glimmer glass filter. It's $50, but it really does look magical!
Enjoy using your set, I can't wait to get more seeing how your footage turned out!

[AKAProds]

Great pro tip, I am totally going to try using a larger cog! I have the same lenses & follow focus system, and cranking the focus on these bad boys is one of my only real complaints.

[GoTravelPlanet]

Emily, yes please a video about the rig. My biggest fear is manual focus, seems that with the rig you can control it better

[OliverHollingdale]

Great channel, noticed your got the 10mm, I got the 8mm which is super wide, I find on my Gh5 I cannot move with the 8mm because it is so wide fish eye it distorts on movement plus the IBIS is confused by it, have you experienced this with the 10mm? I mainly use the 8mm for static big wide/vista shots, keen to know your thoughts! Thank you

[LonStar]

What gimbal do you recommend for the GH6? I realize that some some folks can walk without one, however I just cannot! Thank you for your great and informative videos!!!

[robertpdavenportii]

I love my Meike cine primes, and have been rocking them on my GH-4 but my GH-6 is on the way so I’m very excited to see the results. I will pick up the 8mm & 10mm to complete my set before year end. I find their look to be great for the narrative work I mostly do. I use a 4 X 4 matte box so unwanted flares are usually not an issue and tiffen black promist 1/8 & 1/4 filters add the bloom and softness required to make it all look like a larger budget theatrical release. Tilta remote control of the focus really makes these little beauties shine on gimbals, sliders, and crane shots but does sometime require a focus puller or 2nd ac. When you use them in a “pro” fashion the Meike set does not let you down. 😊

I purchased my first Meike 35mm T2.2 for micro four thirds. I have been using the Olympus Zuiko 35mm F/2 for video work and other glass like Voigtlander 42.5mm F/0.95, 10.5mm F/0.95 and 17.5mm F/0.95. I get lots of focus breathing. I am really impressed with this lens. How do you find the quality and handling of the GH6 compared to the GH5s and GH5?

Thanks for sharing
