Meike ZN-2522 25mm T2.2 MFT Mount Cinema Lens

The Meike ZN-2522 25mm T2.2 is a manual focus prime cinema lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mount cameras, including popular bodies from Panasonic, Olympus, and the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera line. With a 50mm equivalent field of view on MFT sensors, it covers the classic normal focal length that works across narrative filmmaking, interviews, documentary, and general video production. The lens is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum with an optical formula of 10 elements in 8 groups, all featuring multi-coating to maintain color consistency across the Meike cine lens lineup and minimize ghosting and flare in challenging lighting situations.

As a cinema-focused lens, the Meike 25mm uses T-stop markings rather than f-stops, ensuring accurate and repeatable exposure when matching shots or swapping lenses on set. The T2.2 maximum aperture provides a fast, bright image with shallow depth of field capabilities well-suited to isolating subjects and creating cinematic bokeh. The manual focus ring offers a smooth, damped throw that allows controlled focus pulls — a critical requirement for narrative and commercial video work. The field of view on MFT bodies breaks down to 40.6° horizontal, 31° vertical, and 49.7° diagonal. For filmmakers building a budget-friendly cine lens kit on the MFT system, the Meike 25mm serves as a versatile workhorse focal length with build quality and optical performance that exceed its price point.
