Meike MK 50mm f/1.7 Large Aperture Manual Focus Lens for Sony Full Frame E-Mount Mirrorless Cameras

I use this lens with my Sony A7iii and I LOVE IT! The manual focus can get a bit frustrating however I love the quality of the pictures. It has a dreamy type of look. I also like the bokeh effect it can create.A great budget lens for sure! Fun to use.

I picked this up on prime day for less than 100 bucks. The last time I bought a lens it was over 1,000 so I was skeptical. But the image looks great and it definitely works for my camera. I probably wouldn't use it professionally but as a lens for my personal family use it is perfect without breaking the bank.

What I really like about this lens, beside the size and quite good build quality, is the kind of film-like feeling it gives to the pictures. What I don’t like is the too tight fit (it’s especially hard to remove the lens), and what I REALLY don’t like is the style of the aperture ring: it’s clickless (which may be good for video shooters but is extremely annoying for a still shooter like me) and it’s placed where the focus ring should be.So, do I recommend the lens? Actually, yes, because of the price. It’s nice to have it, although I’m not sure if I’ll use it very often.

This is not a lens for video, or quick shots. It's a lens for messing around, and it's pretty decent for the price. It's solid, build quality seems good. It's metal, and feels chunky. It's very small, so it's easy to handle on the camera, even though it's pretty heavy for such a small lens.Definitely worth the money if you're looking for a cheap 50mm, just remember this is MANUAL focus and no zoom. It's also manual aperture. You will do a lot of moving around to get the shot exactly where you want it.

Took this to my trip to Costa Rica and it's been a fantastic travel lens! It's been good for animal photography (if the animal will stay in place long enough for you to focus) and also for nature shots. The size is also not too big so it's been really easy for me to take around to places. Will be looking into getting more meike lenses.

I ordered this lens twice. The first lens had potential, but inconsistent focus across the frame. The second lens I got was worse, and decentered. Both lenses had issues with chromatic aberrations. The better copy cleaned up nicely around F5.6 or so, but wasn't perfect. That said, it was decent for the price, and if you get a good copy, it could be a fun lens...for the price. The problem is that the quality control seems to be very inconsistent. I feel like if I ordered 10 copies of this lens, I'd probably get a really good one out of the bunch, and 9 duds. If you get lucky, cool...but will you?

Mounted on my Sony A7 , i miss the autofocus but used this lens to capture the Neowise Comet. I was able to get some good images, not great but good. Will work with lens to get more from it. A good value. I like the f1.7

I bought this for my Sony A7iii and Sony A5000 and I can’t believe the image quality this thing has for a $109 price tag. It looks just as good as a lens I spent three times as much for. It has a nice sharp to semi-sharp image with lots of bokeh that looks very cinematic for video and takes very professional quality photos. I’m actually planning to buy another so I can have two. I’m looking to see if this lens is apart of a series to purchase a 35mm and 85mm of the same series.Remember this is a manual lens with no auto-focus and if your good with that you’ll love this lens.
