Description — Meike 50mm T2.1
The Meike 50mm T2.1 Manual Focus Cinema FF Prime Lens is engineered for professional film and video production. With a 50mm focal length and Full Frame coverage, it serves as a standard prime suitable for a wide range of cinematic applications. The T2.1 maximum aperture, measured in true T-stops for accurate exposure consistency, provides reliable light transmission for production environments.
The lens is strictly manual focus, making it an ideal companion for follow focus systems on professional rigs. At 1,100g, it has the heft of a cinema-grade optic built for demanding production use. The 82mm front filter thread ensures compatibility with popular matte boxes and filter systems.
Mount options include Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, L-Mount, and PL Mount, offering broad flexibility across modern mirrorless and dedicated cinema camera platforms. There is no image stabilization, consistent with cinema prime conventions where stabilization is handled externally.
