Meike Hints at ‘Full Frame’ aka 35mm and Super 35 Cinema Lenses Coming Soon

While researching for my previous article on the ever-growing Meike Cinema Primes collection of manual ciné lenses for Micro Four Thirds, Sony E and Fujifilm X mount cameras, some images of other possible upcoming new lenses caught my eye.

Meike T2.2 Series 6x Cine lens Kit for MFT + Cine Lens Case, containing Meike cinema prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Looks like a great option for users of Micro Four Thirds cinema and video cameras including Blackmagic Design’s Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K aka BMPCC 4K and Panasonic’s M43 cameras. Will Meike be making kits like this available for its possible coming Super 35 and “full frame” cinema prime lenses? Image courtesy of Meike Global.

Given the praise that Blackmagic Design’s 6K raw-capable  Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K aka BMPCC 6K is receiving, it appears to be a more attractive alternative to the smaller sensor-equipped BMPCC 4K provided it is used with so-called “full frame” or 35mm sensor lenses, or lenses designed for motion picture industry standard Super 35 cameras.

I will be intrigued to see what focal lengths Meike will be releasing in these formats, how good they are and how affordably they may be priced.
