Key Take-Aways:

The Meike FF Prime Cine Lens 24mm T2.1 is a manual-focus full-frame cine prime with a T2.1 maximum aperture, 11 iris blades, an 82 mm filter thread, a 30 cm minimum focus distance and an 83 degree diagonal field of view on full frame. Meike sells it for $1,099 in the L-mount selection. As of Oct 2026, two videos and no written reviews are linked. Jason Morris calls it in his description the sharpest cinema lens for the price, and his title asks whether it can beat a Sony 24mm f/1.4 GM for video. Humcrush Productions tests the 24 mm together with the other Meike full-frame cine lenses from 16 to 135 mm, with chapters on sharpness, distortion, breathing, bokeh, flaring and chromatic aberrations.

Meike publishes the diameter (Ø89.6 mm) for the PL, EF, RF and Sony E mounts and the length per mount, but no L-mount figures; the length of 136 mm is the Sony E figure (135.9 mm) only. Meike publishes the weight as a range of 963 to 1034 g without naming a mount; the 963 g in the frontmatter is the lower end of that range.
