MEIKE has officially announced its new 16mm T2.5 FF cine lensWhich now joins the 24mm T2.1, 35mm T2.2, 50mm T2.1, 85mm T2.2, and 105mm T2.1.
Like the other lenses in the series, it covers an image circle of 45mm. It is available on PL, Canon EF, Canon RF, Sony E, or Panasonic L mounts.
The lens has industry-standard 0.8mm pitch gear in focus and aperture ring. The optical design of the lens consists of sixteen elements in eleven groups and consists of 11 aperture blades.
The minimum focus distance is 30cm / 12 ″ and the lens mounts tipping the 1.1kg-1.185kg scales depending on the choice. The front filter thread is 86 mm.
I’ve reviewed a number of MEIKE lenses over the years and they’re solid, well-performing lenses that won’t cost you much.
