Meike 55mm f1.8 PRO | Lens review with samples | new lens

[@sirwillemgaming9686]

Good video and straight to the point. Thank you ParadiseBizz and happy new year!

[@ParadiseBizz]

Happy New Year to you too, thank you for taking the time to leave me a nice comment

[@timothyheiseler3314]

This is a fantastic lens for the price. Just got one myself, and I am loving it.

[@ParadiseBizz]

I think it was a great choice. This is hands down the best lens Meike has produced so far. I love it, and I am so glad they stepped up their game.

[@afferist]

good review, good colors, thanks

[@ParadiseBizz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This or Sony Zeiss 55mm?

[@ParadiseBizz]

I actually owned the Zeiss 55mm and I loved the photo quality of this lens. Meike also does an amazing job and outshines the Zeiss when it comes to creating videos. If you're not interested in filming and you want the best photo quality then it would be the Zeiss amzn.to/3PWJtMU BUT I find it too expensive for what it is. I would recommend to buy the Meike amzn.to/3EaLBha instead and save the money for the new upcoming Meike 35mm PRO lens - yes, it will be coming soon.

Fits on an aps-c like ZVe10? Great vids.

[@ParadiseBizz]

Yes, it does fit on APS-C cameras and performs excellent

[@jruhupatty703]

Nice video review.. Thank you... May I ask, when you make this video review, what lens you've used? its great i think

[@ParadiseBizz]

Thank you for your kind words. I filmed this review on my micro four thirds camera, the Panasonic Lumix G9 II and as a lens I used the Sigma 30 mm F1.4

[@jruhupatty703]

@@ParadiseBizz Awesome. Thank you for your information ... will buy the same device. lol

[@ParadiseBizz]

@@jruhupatty703 Go for it: Lumix G9 II amzn.to/4dveu4g Sigma 30mm f1.4 amzn.to/3Cg6p6j

[@wilson24p]

how's the Autofocus on 55mm vs the Meike 50mm 1.8?

[@ParadiseBizz]

The AF works great on both lenses. On the 55mm Pro it is a bit quieter and it is superior in video mode

[@ParadiseBizz]

Oh, just FYI, I am working on a 50mm Full Frame AF lens comparison: 7Artisens vs Meike vs Yongnuo

[@wancukjie]

What do you think compared to sigma 56mm 1.4?

[@ParadiseBizz]

The Sigma has strong chromatic abberations, which I personally don’t like. They’re easy to remove on photos but difficult in videos. I personally prefer the Meike 55 mm over the sigma 56. On top the sigma is an APS-C Lens the Meike 55 mm is a full frame lens that you can use for everything.

[@sirwillemgaming9686]

I'm waiting for their 35mm F1.8 PRO. I already have their 85mm F1.4 MIX series.

[@ParadiseBizz]

You are so right, I would LOVE to get a 35mm f1.8 Pro from Meike. I'll reach out to them and ask, when we can expect it.

[@iritian]

​@@ParadiseBizzi hope you get an answer

[@danielarazate9099]

Waiting on an answer too 🙏🏽

[@ParadiseBizz]

I got the answer: and YESSSS, a 35mm f1.8 Pro is going to be released in the first quarter of this year. I already pre-ordered it, so I can make a review.

[@ParadiseBizz]

@@iritian It's coming in the first quarter. I pre-ordered it so I can make a review.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Adding Pro to it was a bit of a stretch with that lens noise. Still is great to see all these options. Ow in the budget side. Got to push these camera companies for the more expensive gear.

[@ParadiseBizz]

Happy New Year, Paul. yes, the motor should be silent to call it Pro. Still, no focus breathing and a really nice image quality. For the price, I take it

[@H2o3G2a]

Do pros use the Camera's internal mic?

[@PaulFeinberg]

@@H2o3G2a no but it still gets picked up through the shotgun attached to the hotshoe.

[@H2o3G2a]

@@PaulFeinberg Then something must be wrong with your mic. Any budget directional mic will have absolutely no issues, let alone a pro one. There are much louder things on set or outside.

[@ParadiseBizz]

@@H2o3G2a You would always use an external mic, whether it is a Boom mic, or a wireless mic. What you could do is to mix the recording of the in camera mic with your external mic's recording, to add some ambient noise.
