loving th colors and contrast from the meike

[OCAIOF]

I would pick sigma because of the versatility, but I do prefer Meike colors, flares and specially focus pulling in this comparison! Great video!

[justincase]

It’s like the P6K was designed with Matteo specifically in mind. Never seen any footage out of this Camera as beautiful as Matteo gets it

[MUSICALDTV]

Niceee... I love my sigma, but it looks cold compared to the meike

[NoahsNostalgia]

Meike is so much nicer! Colors seem richer. Not to mention the flares

[DimitarMichaylov]

I'd go with the Sigma - it looks more neutral and I can achieve the warmer look of the Meike in post. Only the flare will remain different, but considering the fact that the Sigma can be from 18 to 35 mm makes it the clear winner for me.

[videodepot]

This meike 35MM lens EF on a bmpcc4k + metabones XL, will get vignette?

[Chromedbustop]

Both look really nice! I feel like the Sigma would offer more versatility in post production while the Meike provides a much more finished image. I'd be happy with either lens. Or both...

[DruMUSIC]

That meike lens looks more cinematic right off the bat. Seems like a good investment if you like to achieve that kind of look.

[dagugstsdu]

Thank you for this comparison, looks like little tweaks will make the lenses indistinguishable from each other.

[vinkarume]

I feel like the sigma has got quite a tasty focus pull, especially in the example with the plants.

[ftby]

Color looks better, sharpness is clearly the winner, insane focus breathing and amazing flares!

[coveredtreasuresfilmprojec]

I have both and I like the look of the Meike better. It has more character and there seems to be slightly more separation from the background. IMO.

[aybee]

The Meike lens looks more cinematic and handels the highlight rolloff better. It has also a bit warmer Look than the Sigma. The flares of the Meike are a matter of taste, not bad at all.

[gnkstudios]

Love the flaring and color rendition on the meike. I actually love it has more contrast in the lens so I don't have to add that much back in post. If meiki can just get some zooms...

[tinyodysseys]

Somehow, the sigma looks more "precise", and the skin looked better on the sigma imo. But the Meike add a bit of life to the shots, felt more like a natural look. At 0:45 though, I really love the meike way more than the sigma, the details in her hair and the bokeh looked very "eye like" (sorry for my lack of technical terms). It is really interesting though. With my little knowledge, everytime I try to compare major lenses like canon or sigma to vintage 50 euros M42/FD lenses, or Samyang, Meike cine lenses, the result is the same to me. The big modern brands usually are sharp as hell, but in terms of immersive clips, the vintage lenses or modern cheap samyang (cheap compared to a ARI cine lens). Plus I love having manual and basic aperture and focus control, so that helps...

[dodgycrewfilms]

Hey what's the crop factor of the M43 speedbooster? From what I can tell there doesn't seem to be any more than it naturally has with Canon lenses

[boiarkinru]

Thank you for the video! Which would you choose Leu R or Meike? What are the poles and minuses of Meike lenses versus Leica R lenses?

[gilhadanimusic]

All meike shift to yellow but usable in all parameters

[eldude]

damn i love the focus pulling on the meike 35mm, it's almost like a cinema lens
