      I've got to think that if the color shift between lenses was ever noticed, it would be because you were producing some very boring footage. I was really impressed with the Mieke's and would sleep better with an extra $15k in the bank.

    I think a great note for Canon shooters is that the Cine Primes also communicate focus to the camera. I shoot with a C200 and the manual focus guide does not work with my off brand cine lenses. When I use the Canon glass, I’m able to use the manual focus assist guide. That guide is genius. It has never been wrong for me.
    Shoot at 135mm manual at t2, while performing a dolly move, and pulling focus is much easier with the cine primes. I would not trust my skills the same without the focus assist guide.

    Excellent comprehesive comparison. You've justified my recent purchase of the Meike set over going into debt to buy the canon set. I believe there's a simple solution to the color variation on the Meikes - create a preset grade by lens size and just apply that in post depending on which lens was used for that particular scene.

    I am very surprised by the last test of your video, that's a very huge point and a lot of times, it's missing in some tests. Here we can see how the shift between lens is quite huge, and ask to take some time in grading to adjust it. Not a red flag to me, but definitely an important point.
    Also, CNE lenses are somthing like 15 years older than Meike lens, maybe it's a important point too.

    Canon is f/1.4 and Meike is f/2.5 In Cine lenses, the T stop is really makes up the cost difference and when we shoot early mornings and late evenings brings out the worth of the extra cost. Canon Cine-E primes have in built lens corrections when used with canon cameras like R5C etc.

  • @wannabef

    I've used the CN-E lenses on a number of commercial shoots. That color consistency is absolutely true. They have a very neutral look, though. So if you're looking for something with character, they are not the way to go. I tend to bounce between those, Cooke Mini S4s, and Zeiss Ultra Primes on rental gigs. I've been intrigued with the Meikes for a while and could see getting those as my owned set.

    @wither8 2 года назад

    Your tests were pretty objective and straight to the point, no bs and no punches pulled (some reviewers go easy on their 'samples' so more free stuff gets sent in-- you clearly did not). And you *really* underplayed the whole Canon's t-stop range being like double what those Chinese lenses have. One thing is, if you're *getting* a cine lens set, that's what you need--you need that consistency. Youre paying out the wazoo for labor with at least one assistant focus pulling or whatever, you're paying for usually at least 2 rigs, paying for talent. Back in the day, when buying condenser mics, you'd have to pay Neumann or whatever an extra 200$ for "matched sets". Basically the same thing - you pay more but you know you're getting 100% on-the-mark audio spectrum simiilaries between the two. (Germans and Japanese...and I guess, some small shops here in the US if you know where to look..make the best stuff)
    If you're just looking for a one-off hobby lens that can shoot, and *don't* need that sort of cine consistency then there are plenty of really nice cameras out there that shoot video really well. Like, I can't do it but I know some people who have about 5k worth of gear and can shoot shorts with at the quality level of "There will be blood". I never *ever* thought I'd say this, but auto-focus on some cameras are approaching the level of "well, I guess I don't need an AC anymore". Not quite there yet but like the Fuji X-H2S has so much computational power that it can do whatever it magically needs to do to object-select and.. man its crazy.

    Great test, I'm definitely interested in these lenses! Would love to see some creative footage, as well as a budget cine lens shootout between Meike, Sirui, and Rokinon's Xeen lenses. From what I've seen so far, Sirui's have the price and macro advantage, but seem the softest with a kind of vintage pro-mist look (based on your previous video); the Xeen's are the sharpest and cleanest but also the most expensive; and the Meike's are kind of in the middle. I was looking at their specs and I am not too jazzed about their insanely long focus pull distance. 330 degrees would be pretty damn hard to pull by hand, right?

    Thank youfor this video. I'm not a video shooter but I always wanted a cine lens because of the long focus throw which helps with precision when you're manually focusing. The only hold back for me is the darker T-stop of the Meike. I require no more than T1.5 for the lens to justify its place in my collection. Hopefully, Meike will consider designing something brighter than T2.1.

      @@cinelensgeeky3648 Caleb understands more than you do. On a multi-cam shoot or on a job where you’re switching lenses during a scene, the colorist will need to match up the shots. There is an unmistakable difference in color between some of the different focal lengths. For instance, when paired with the Sony a1, the 85mm is noticeably more yellow than the 24mm and 50mm, and at 5200K, in Resolve, it requires a -250K and +10 tint adjustment to match the other lenses, which is not negligible. If your lighting on set was off by that amount, the gaffer would be responsible for making it match. The 85mm also has less contrast than the 24mm and 50mm. Professional colorists deal with this all the time, as high end productions not infrequently involve many different lenses by several manufacturers.

      He specifically mentions that they are the same in terms of smoothness and weighted feel of the rings?

    Should rent a set of ARRI Master Primes to compare to. That’s a real benchmark. CNE are rehoused L glass optics.

    I want to say Thank You for the info. Now I just need to get some lenses to feed my Sony PXW-FS7M2. It came with a Fujinon MK50-135 mm Cine Lens. What would you recommend for general indoor shooting. They what for outdoor landscape and animals. Once again Thank You.

    Faster apertures, color consistency = professional use; In contrast, a 1/4 price tag and some inconsistency in color = lower cost production markets. They both have they own market positions. And the price difference is actually not as great as it may seems. Typically, for same kind of lenses, price would be more than double for 1 stop of faster maximum aperture. Thus, it's really down to actually shooting needs at the end of the day.

    Color shift is subtle, and an easy fix. Can't justify the price, especially knowing that Canon is the Apple of cameras. They're solid, but typically less featured packed for way more money.

    I’m starting RUclips for fun but I needed light so I ordered a Godox P260C and a superclamp. Already got a reflector, a mini LED, tripod and one clamp. I’m thinking of clamping some of it on chairs and putting my tripod pole on the side with a blanket over it as sound dampening. Also ordered a cheap feelworld screen. Wonder if this will end well.

    Can you do this with Rokinon DSX vs Meike? Just for the data. Great comparison with a lot of good metrics. Subscribed and liked. Honestly, you could just run tests of all these new lenses on a blog post if the videos are too much work. I get it, they're all expensive. Just amazing to see!

    It's a pity the coating of the Meike is no good because you overlooked an EXTREMELY important aspect of the lens characters. It most brutally shows in the 85mm comparrison (minute 7.48):
    Look at the picture, not the color, and you'll notice that the Meike has a way better depth then the Canon which flattens the focal planes aka squezzes the shot while the Meike creates a nice depth to the room -> objects in the back look further away with the Meike while the Canon places everything "on your back". Or in other words the Meike creates more distance between objects.
    However, the flatter image of the Canon can of course also be used for artistic reasons to create a more claustrophobic atmosphere with "walls moving in on you". ;)
    Great video! Salute.

    what features does the connectivity to the camera entail? is it just a screen readout of the focus measurement? can the meikes do autofocus?
