Is there a filter that makes the Sigma18-35 look

more like a Meike-prime-lens?

With softer rolloffs, taking away the sharpness.

Or is it possible to get the Meike-prime-look in Resolve?

Tiffen Black Promist filter.

Pro mist like Ellory told, or you can try with low contrast filter, I had both from tiffen, bw, Schneider optics, different result, I love it.

Thx.
Which mist filter to get a look closest to Mike prime: 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2?

You can also just try dropping the contrast in post; be prepared to drop it a lot.

Some of the diffusion filters can cause speckled out-of-focus highlights (e.g., Hollywood Black Magic) and I don't use them much anymore. Try reducing contrast and/or using Resolve's diffusion tools; there are also diffusion plugins you can buy nowadays although the best ones are expensive.

It’s a matter of taste. Technically you should use lighter for wide, heavier for tele to be constant in diffusion, but sometimes I like to break a rules.
On tiffen website there is a filter simulator that allow you to choose.

Can you get the same effect doing it in post as with a low contrast filter? I'd love to not use a pro mist in camera as it makes focus peaking really hard to use.

Regarding post filters Video Village makes the one I like best, Scatter.

I think I get the idea of recommending a Pro-Mist filter as it's pretty much the norm, but in my mind there's nothing "Meike" about it. Maybe if the filter is used on both lenses the differences will be sufficiently masked. Was that the idea?

There’s more to lens characteristics than softness or micro-contrast.
The 18-35 by Sigma is ‘clinical’, but it can be matched with Zeiss primes pretty well. Most others factors, like color, vignetting, or edge softness, even distortion, can be added in post with enough patience. But be aware that such subtleties change with focal length and distance too.

This may get you started…
