Meike 35mm F1.4 Large Aperture Manual Focus Prime MFT Lens for Micro Four Thirds M43 Compatible with Olympus and Panasonic Mirrorless Cameras and BMPCC GH6 OM-1

I am glad to see so many other users enjoy this fine lens. See it for what it is - manual focus, quite fast at f1.4, compact for use on MFT bodies and both available and speedily delivered. I have many lenses, and this fills a niche with my old Mk1 Olympus E-M1, which I use mostly for macro work. Meike makes a set of Autofocus Extension tubes which work well with this lens to provide beautiful closeups and fine bokeh effects. Depth of field at f1.4 is very small indeed, so I use f4, and f8 where possible. Sharpness is good at those settings, where available light allows, and that's good enough for me. The softness at wide open brings its own rewards in artistic renderings. Great value. Recommended. Samples attached.

The ease of use is a standout feature. I was initially hesitant about using a manual focus lens, but this one made the process surprisingly straightforward. The focus ring is smooth and responsive, allowing me to capture sharp and well-focused images effortlessly. But what truly blew me away was the picture quality. The 1.4 large aperture produces stunning, professional-grade photos. Even as a beginner, I was able to achieve beautiful bokeh and razor-sharp images. The lens captures vibrant colors and intricate details with remarkable precision. What's even more impressive is the affordability of this lens. It's a fraction of the price of similar lenses, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to step up their photography game without breaking the bank.

Not for professionals.

Ottimo obiettivo di fascia economica, comprato usato ma in ottime condizioni. Testato su BMPCC4K, garantisce un'immagine nitida e luminosa, nonostante la mancanza di automatismi - nel mio caso, per esempio, non posso neanche gestire da remoto l'apertura. Né questo né l'autofocus assente sono però un grande problema, quanto invece la mancanza di una stabilizzazione che, su macchina non stabilizzata, può diventare sensibile anche su gimbal e rendere l'immagine leggermente scattosa. Inoltre, il tappo ad incastro e non ad avvitamento non è il massimo. Detto questo, per il suo costo davvero un buon obiettivo.

Perfect addition to my lens kit for the bmpcc4k. This will give you the film look in a second. Great investment if you are looking for that bokeh and film look.
