I can’t believe how good this budget lens is! - Meike 50mm f1.8

[@BassDad-TV]

dude, I like the Meike in your studio better than the Sony you normally use by a lot.

[@cindylaophotography9380]

Great video and info! There aren’t many video out there on this lens.

[@PoetryFilms]

Thanks for excellent video. Would have liked to hear comparison with Sony 50mm 1.8 rather than 24mm (weight etc) - also wondering what distinguishes this from Meike 50mm 1.7 - but otherwise very informative.

[@shauncathey9365]

I have both the 50mm n 85mm z mount for Nikon and both are amazing 🖤

[@gardeningwithlisa]

Thanks for your comment! I was wondering how this lens performs with Nikon. Thanks again, I'm getting this lens!

[@tornike550]

Great review. I am not even a Sony user, yet stayed for the content and great information delivery. Keep up a good work, Zander!

[@ZanderRound]

I appreciate that!

I receive the lens (for fuji) with bug or maybe faulty. The aperture ring cant use to set f2.8 and f8, on f2.8 its skip to f3.2 and on f8 its blinking f8-f11 Meike did sent me a firmware fix but i cant test it because the lens has been return by the rime they fave me the firmware. update 1: return the lens and buy another, still get the faulty lens but this time only missing f11. Not satisfy with the lens, I return it again. ** (f1.4 > f1.6 > f1.8 > f2.0 > f2.2 > f2.5 > F2.8 > f3.2 > f3.6 > f4.0 > f4.5 > f5.0 > f5.6 > f6.4 > f7.1 > f8.0 > f9.0 > f10 > f13 > f14 > f16 update 2: after a month, a new lens is finally arrive, funny..still get a faulty lens and this time missing f11 and double f2.8 ** (f1.4 > f1.6 > f1.8 > f2.0 > f2.2 > f2.5 > F2.8 > F2.8 > f3.2 > f3.6 > f4.0 > f4.5 > f5.0 > f5.6 > f6.4 > f7.1 > f8.0 > f9.0 > f10 > f13 > f14 > f16

Can I use this to canon 90d?

[@portpass1974]

Great video. I'm thinking of buying this for my Sony A7 II. I use a Rode mic on top. Will it pick up the autofocus sound? Is the autofocus noise loud? Thanks so much.

[@ZanderRound]

No I don’t think so it’s super quiet

[@portpass1974]

@@ZanderRound Cool. Thanks!

[@Execue]

Is it on par with the 7artisans one?

[@DatBoyWill1998]

This is an amazing rival to 7artisan’s 50mm lol

[@hahhou1600]

In addition, its dispersion control is very good, and the out of focus macula is very round.

[@tommasodevirgilio6883]

how much amazing? I mean, any comparison?

[@josephdolejsi1976]

The autofocus on this is way better imo that 7artisans is overrated

[@mediaflmcreation]

Here's a good question... does this lens auto focus when you want to focus off center? Most after market lenses especially with Sony seem to have issues if not working at all when you want to focus off the center

[@MrSimonj1970]

I've never heard of that before, and I've watched plenty of reviews of such lenses. Never had that issue with my Nikon, either...

[@gyredynamics]

I got the 7artisans 50mm 1.8 just for the built quality

[@tommasodevirgilio6883]

So you're saying that they're even, except for the build quality?

[@gyredynamics]

@@tommasodevirgilio6883 meike has bad autofocus, my friend just bought their meike 55mm 1.4 and if focus pulls a lot. When it comes to colors the 7 artisans have an upper hand just based on my experience

[@Maestro_7]

Is the quality of the photos good?

[@ZanderRound]

well see the video for examples

[@JosephAirborne]

Yes it they are, I just received it. Great at 1.8.
