Lens Overview — Meike 50mm T2.2

The Meike 50mm T2.2 Manual Focus Cinema Lens is a prime cine lens built for APS-C mirrorless cameras, offering a T2.2 maximum aperture designed to deliver consistent light transmission in filmmaking contexts — T-stop ratings being the standard for cinema glass where precision exposure matching matters. At 50mm on APS-C, this is a standard focal length prime well-suited to a broad range of narrative shooting scenarios. The lens is fully manual focus, which is typical of dedicated cine lenses where smooth, repeatable focus pulls are prioritized over autofocus speed.

Weighing 600g and accepting 77mm filters, it strikes a balance between cinematic build quality and practical portability on a mirrorless rig. One of the standout practical qualities here is mount versatility: the lens is available across Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X systems, making it an accessible option for filmmakers already invested in any of these major mirrorless ecosystems. There is no image stabilization, so shooters will need to rely on in-body stabilization or external support for handheld work.

Overall, this is a purpose-built cine prime aimed at APS-C mirrorless videographers who value manual control and cross-platform compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions — Meike 50mm T2.2

Which camera mounts is this lens compatible with?+
The Meike 50mm T2.2 is available in Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X mounts, covering most major mirrorless systems. Make sure to select the mount version that matches your specific camera body.
Does this lens have autofocus?+
No — this is a fully manual focus lens with no autofocus capability. It is designed for cine use where manual focus control and smooth focus pulls are standard practice.
What does the T2.2 rating mean compared to an f-stop?+
T-stops measure actual light transmission through the lens rather than the theoretical f-stop value, making them the preferred rating for cinema glass. A T2.2 rating ensures predictable exposure consistency across a matched set of lenses.
Is this lens compatible with full-frame cameras?+
The lens is designed for APS-C format sensors. While it may physically mount on full-frame bodies depending on the mount version, the image circle is sized for APS-C, so full-frame use is likely to result in vignetting.
Does this lens include image stabilization?+
No, image stabilization is not included. Filmmakers shooting handheld will need to rely on in-body stabilization if their camera supports it, or use external stabilization equipment.
What filter size does this lens use?+
The lens has a 77mm filter thread, which is a widely used size that allows compatibility with a broad range of standard ND, polarizing, and other filters.
