Any matching zoom for the Meike full frame lenses?

[Cristian Mihai]

Any idea what zoom comes close to the look of the Meike full frame lenses? DZO has primes and zooms. Meike does not so looking for an advice....Thanks

Some would say true matching lens sets come at a high cost so not sure the Meikes would pass inspection under those eyes, but if you're using modern lenses then why not grade the differences in post like most people do? (Unless you can't?)

If the quality of the glass is decent - meaning it's relatively sharp, including the corners, and there isn't much vignetting - it's usually just a quick tint correction.

There's also the quality of bokeh but I think most lenses have decent bokeh these days.

IMO, matching issues usually become jarring when you're using vintage glass with modern glass and the softness, contrast, colors and flares are too noticeable.

Makes sense. And as much as i agree with you, if there is something i can do on set, i do it there. Meikes 24,35,50 they pretty match, some say 85mm has some tint and the reason i will skipt it and go for the 100 when it will be available.
