Review: An excellent budget cine lens - Give that the only affordable cinema primes are the Rokinons (as of right now Veydra is out of business and no one else is producing cine lenses under $1000), the Meieke line of cinema primes is a very welcomed addition. To me, the Meiekes seem far better built than the Rokinons (they feel more substantial even through they are smaller than the Rokinons) and even though they are advertised as T2.2 and the Rokinons as T1.5, I much prefer the feel of the Meikes and feel that their lenses are built for the long haul. That extra stop of light (if it even exists) doesn't bother me; I've been happy to buy every single Meike cine prime so far, whereas I only bought the 35mm Rokinon. Given that the MFT format is inherently unfriendly to shooting wide (the 12mm gives you 24mm on a GH5, for example) having a 12mm in the lineup seems to be just about right - there is little to no significant distortion that I can observe, and I can't really see myself needing to go much wider than that - If I do I'll either reach for a full frame, or pop a speedbooster on and go with some of my wider EF lenses. For me, the value of these lenses (other than them being quite affordable), is that they are not focus by wire, the focus ring is declicked and smooth and long, which makes pulling focus a pleasure and very easy to do on my own, and that they are fitted into identical housing, so you can swap them without needing to deconstruct and rebuild your rig - in fact, I'll venture that if you have one of these lenses on a gimbal, you should be able to swap it out without re-calibrating, which can be quite a time saver. Anyway, I'm no pixel peeper, and as such I can't tell you if these lenses are way sharper than some other lenses, or if the barrel distortion would be acceptable to someone shooting architectural interiors, or anything like that. What I can tell you is that I love using them because they help me tell a story working with the equipment instead of fighting against it, and that's why I reach for them 99 times out of a 100.
Review: Perfect MFT Cinema Lens for BMPCC4K/6K, BMPCC, BMMCC and MFT Cameras! - When I opened the box, I was surprised by the size. I thought that it was going to be huge but it was very compact. I'm used to using a Metabones 0.71x with Sigma Art Series and Panasonic MFT photography lenses. I wanted to buy native cinema lenses because I believe that the extra glass from the Metabones effects the image quality of my EF lens. The focus by wire from the Panasonic lenses stops me from using gimbals and follow focus systems. When I put this lens on my BMPCC4K for the first time, I was amazed by the sharpness of this lens. Wide open at T/2.2 creates a good, shallow depth of field. The sweet spot for this lens is T/2.8-T/5.6. This is where the lens is the sharpest. It shines between this range. I'm finally able to use my follow focus systems with my BMPCC4K and BMMCC. I'm going to buy the whole set now! If you have a MFT camera and you're looking for affordable Cinema Lenses, get this lens and the whole set. This is a must buy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meinke's Third Cinema Lense - 12mm T2.2 - Worth The Wait !
*by C***X on September 27, 2019*

Having found the 16mm and 25mm T2.2 cinema lenses amazing values - quality vs. price - I eagerly awaited the 12mm lens to be available, as my videography interest are more directed towards travel-scape (wide-angle) recordings. The 12mm is well worth the wait - coupled with my BMPCC 4K or my ZCam E2 4K - the captured image is impeccable. While with any manual-focus cinema lens, one needs to employ focusing assist technology (focus peaking) to be spot-on during recordings - the few seconds of additional time to check focus always pays visual dividends. The casual videographer may be better served with an auto-focus lens (such as the Panasonic F 2.8, 12mm-35mm). The 12mm T2.2 is heavier than the 16mm T2.2 (652gm vs. 615gm) with its additional glass reflected in a slightly higher price - still a bargain for a cinema lens of this optical quality. I'm sure that YouTubers will be providing more in-depth reviews in the near future - but I suspect all will reach the same bottom line, it well deserves the 5 stars I've given it. Highly Recommended
