Review on MEKE 25mm T2.2 Large Aperture Manual Focus Lens with Low Distortion, 4K Capability, and Micro Four Thirds Mount, Compatible with Olympus and Panasonic Lumix Cameras, BMPCC 4K, and Zcam E2 by Jan Keller

OVERVIEW The Meike 25mm T2.2 is a tough, compact cinema lens. It is ideal for narrative and documentary filmmakers shooting with M-43 cameras such as the Panasonic GH5/s or Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. Compare to Veydra lenses which cost at least twice as much if you can even find them. PROS: IMAGE: - Very, very sharp - Virtually no color cast, excellent contrast - Smooth, round bokeh - Focus barely breathes - Focus markings are accurate, down to 10 inches - Very little flare or blur. CONSTRUCTION: - All metal - 0.8 pitch gears - Good smooth focusing and aperture control - Very long focus travel (200º) ideal for precise focusing - Focus distance and aperture markings on both sides of the lens CONS: - Above average chromatic aberrations (purple fringing) GOOD TO WOULD HAVE: - Caption markers - Fluorescent markers - More focal lengths for a full set (50mm, 85mm, etc.)
