Revar Cine

I picked these up to downsize the hilariously large Formatt Hitech filter pouches and these take up so much less space. The rigid cases are great for keeping my filters safe and I like that there is foam padding inside to keep the filters from rattling around. Very pleased with these.

Used on dual Sony Burano's for a stunt heavy film. The Director of Photography was using scarf dust filters on each camera. I was just blown away by how it blooms the highlights and just adds a little bit more red to skin tones and just makes all the skin tones pop that much harder. Really phenomenal filter, made me go buy a matte box kit and a filter just so I can implement it in my films. Nice job Revar!!! Keep coming up with individual different than the norm filters.

I love this linear polarizing filter in combo with the circular pola from Revar to make the perfect variable ND. No color cast across the spectrum no matter how deep you rotate through exposure. The glass is pristine and matched for accuracy, it's become an absolute go-to part of my kit. Can't recommend this setup enough!

I love the worm hole for specialty portrait effects. The 138 filter is quickly and easily put in front of my lens to create a unique circular fall off on the outside image of the lens. I recently just used in a film that premiered at Hollyshorts and people were asking me what lens I used for those shots…. It was a special lens it was my Wormhole!

works on my Abracam + rapid delivery.

Service Good!

No color shift and super clean and reliable. Very happy with the Revar Cine filters!

We have been shooting some high speed content for tool manufacturers and the optical filters have been great for protecting the lenses for flying metal chips. We have additional clear filters for effects using removable diffusion spray, fishing line and other objects in front of the lens for specific looks and feelings we have tested for narrative work. These are high quality (as are all Revar Cine products we have purchased) and a great value.

I purchased several batches of these PA Tears and the salt content was not what I was expecting. If you've ever made a PA cry on set and tasted their tears you'll know where I'm coming from.
Crying locations PAs a silent lock-up does not make.
Honestly though, using this filter yields dramatically better results than carefully smearing the lens with Vaseline.

One of kind and beautiful engineering, superb customer service.

The team at Revar are highly professional and accommodating. They helped get me the right filters and were great to work with.

Great piece of kit! Paired with my Xeen cine lenses/Pola+ and a Komodo X, best results Ive been able to get while maintaining a .71 adapter to effectively make the camera full frame. Perfect pair for my needs, hoping to get another for my B cam :)

138mm Close Up Diopter

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.
