Featuring a T2.2 maximum aperture, low-dispersion glass, and high refractive index, the MFT-mount 16mm T2.2 Manual Focus Wide Angle Cinema Lens from Meike is a bright cine prime suitable for up to high-resolution cine cameras. The large aperture allows working in difficult lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field. The lens produces results with low distortion, while its multilayer coating reduces flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy.

With an all-metal housing, this manual focus lens also has a robust design. The minimum focus distance from the image plane is 7.9", so you can get very close to your subject and achieve close-up wide-angle shots with sharp focus. The lens is designed with scale markings in feet and inches.

Q: 1. The 12mm essentially converts to a 24mm on the BMDP 4K camera, is that correct? is there added distortion or vignetting?

A: The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a 1.9x Crop Factor. A 12mm will be around a 23mm after the Crop Factor.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera?

A: If you are using the Blackmagic 4K Pocket Cinema Camera, then yes this lens is compatible. If you are using the Blackmagic 6K, then no, this will not be compatible.

Q: 3. Does this lens have enough coverage for S35? Thanks.

A: We're afraid not. This only list coverage for an MFT sized sensor.

Q: 4. Hello, What is the warranty of this lens?

A: This lens comes with a Limited 1-Year Warranty from the Manufacturer.

Q: 5. Length of lens in mm or inches?

A: This lens is 3.9 inches long.

Q: 9. What is the image circle diameter? Basically, if I was using a Super 35 sensor, would a MFT mount cover it or would an E-mount be needed? Or are both mounts the same coverage? Thanks!

A: According the manufacturer this lens should cover an APS-C or Super35mm Sized Sensor.

Q: 10. I notice that the description of this says "Micro Four Thirds Sensor Coverage". Does this mean that this will be a 50mm on my MFT sensor camera? Other lenses from this lineup seem to have APS-C coverage, so I am confused as to which sensor size this will cover.

A: The Meike 50mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens (MFT Mount) is a 50mm lens and as such, any 50mm lens will appear as 100mm on a Micro Four Thirds sensor. Micro Four Thirds sensors will always display approximately 2x the focal length equivalent when compared to full frame sensors (which is the standard "measuring stick" for lens focal lengths), based on the numerical data of the lens focal length, regardless of the mount type or intended sensor. The term "Micro Four Thirds Sensor Coverage", in this case, means the lens would be appropriate for a Micro Four Thirds sensor.
