Revar Cine

The quality is great!
One day having additional mini accessories to rig the model and maybe also other lens and camera brands would be very nice.

I was encouraged to try them out at a Cinegear in LA and ended up getting the entire set in RF mount.
When you have a 6K camera, you need to have the resolving power and these babies (for all intents and purposes they are tiny) deliver!
Something very important about the history of these lenses, they were designed from the ground-up as cine lenses without taking a stills lens and striping it out and doing a conversion.
First on the practical aspect,
Gears are in the same position for the entire set.
Filter thread is ø 77mm and front diameter is ø 80mm across the set.
The red section of the barrel near the lens mount is a consistent ø 65mm which is rather important because it allowed me to attach The Lens Cuff and mount a focus motor directly on the lens while leaving the front entirely free for use with a matte box.
The damping of the focus and iris rings is consistent and buttery smooth.
Focus markings are accurate.
All that ties well with the all metal construction while keeping the weight down.
As for the optics themselves,
Distortion is kept to a minimum, being barely noticeable even on the 10mm.
Breathing is very well controlled and only if you put some effort you can see it.
The coatings work perfectly to eliminate aberrations and flaring while contrast and colour accuracy are comparable to lenses with a few zeros added to the price tag.
And the curved aperture blades render a pleasing out of focus bokeh.
In short, I absolutely love working with the Meike Mini Primes and the fact that I can fit the entire set in my backpack with two RED Komodos and a laptop, makes them the best Cine Travel Set!

Finally, the sales and after sales experience with Revar Cine is the best part!

NB: Linked is an extensive lens test I performed. A video review will follow soon.

Super commerçant, très arrengeant et réactif.

What a great company - always respond very quickly, great advice and very very helpful. Will use again for sure!

This very specific diopter is just what I needed to create a very specific effect. It takes a very good lens and adds the right amount of distortion to the edges; making the center the focus of the frame.

Love this thing! I am all about being light weight and efficient as possible so I use the 2mm thin filters which are more fragile than the normal 4mm. This case gives me piece of mind that they will always be protected.

I love this filter for beauty work! Presents a soft overall glow and slight low con filmic feel.

What a great innovation. This case is solid, sturdy and beautifully designed. And most
Important: it does the job of protecting your valuable filters. This is a must for colleagues traveling with gear as they are also stackable. Super impressed by the quality. Really recommend this product !!!

So far these cases are great. They fit way nicer in my camera case than the soft cases but the best part is how easy it is to grab only the edges of the filter. Plus the cases are really satisfying to open and close. Not sure how well they would protect the filter from a drop on a hard floor but these cases make everything so much more convenient.

Can’t figure out how to turn it on!

Great customer service! I like this company now.

Although, this is more of a display piece and has no real use, the attention to details on both camera and lenses is exactly as the real thing. I would not have expected anything less from Revar Cine. A must have display piece in your filmmaker shelve.

Although I certainly shouldn't be considered an expert, I do think these lenses are wonderful. Nice and creamy, with great bokeh. I use a BMPCC 6K and I had been shooting with Canon SLR lenses and while nice, they were also limiting. I'll still use them sometimes, but now when I reach for a prime, it wil most likely be my Meike leneses.

I have the 18mm, 25mm, and 50mm. I am a very satisfied customer. Revar Cine is a great place to get these and Ryan is a straight up guy. You can't do any better.

Another great idea from Ryan Avery! So much fun in a little package. Every time I pick it up it makes me smile. The build quality is great!
