A long cine prime with a 45 mm image circle

The Meike 135mm T2.4 belongs to the FF-Prime series and is computed for full-frame cine cameras — its 45 mm image circle covers open gate. The long focal length combined with T2.4 gives very shallow depth of field and the compressed perspective that suits a cinematic image.

Optics and iris

The 12-element, 8-group design holds its rendering across the whole image circle. A 17-blade iris stays essentially circular throughout the range, so out-of-focus highlights remain round even stopped down — essential in a cine lens.

On-set ergonomics

Focus and iris rings carry standard 0.8 MOD gearing, so any common follow focus fits. The front diameter is consistent across the series, letting you swap lenses in a mattebox without rerigging. Minimum focusing distance 1 m, filter thread 82 mm, weight 1.12 kg.
