Review on Enhance Your Macro Photography with the MEKE 85mm F2.8 Manual Focus Telephoto Lens for Nikon Z Mount Cameras Z5 Z6 Z7 Z50 by Eric Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not a win-win situation

Pros: 1. This lens truly delivers an unrivaled 1.5:1.2 magnification. It is well built.3. He's sharp enough. Bad: 1. The mount's alignment point is where it was in the F-mount version. Now that the lens has been lengthened to accommodate the Z-mount's shorter effective distance, the point is too far from the lens mount .2. The aperture ring has no clicks.3. The aperture ring is narrow and recessed, making it difficult to use.4. The lens is nowhere near as sharp as the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 VR. So you get better images by using a Nikon lens at 1:1 magnification and then cropping the image.

Pros
  • Compatible with Nikon Z full frame mirrorless cameras Z6 Z7 Z50
Cons
  • Other Other
