Review on πŸ“· Meike 35mm F1.4 Wide Angle Manual Focus Lens for Nikon Z Mount APS-C Cameras (Z50, Z5, Z6, Z7) by Jasmine Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A solid choice for your Nikon mirrorless camera

I bought this lens with my Nikon Z50 despite already having the 16-50mm AF kit lens that came with the camera, and i am very happy with it. The kit lens (although it's a very good all-purpose lens in its own right) has an aperture of f/5.6 at 35mm. The fact that this lens can shoot up to f/1.4, has a solid build and is compact in size makes it a great touring lens for your mirrorless camera. If you're comfortable using a 35mm/full frame camera with a 50mm lens, using this lens on a cropped/APS-C lens is equivalent and a great combo in many situations. The only (very minor) downside I can think of is the lack of an aperture click ring, but that's really just a matter of personal preference (many people don't like click rings). It's also worth noting that you should buy a softer protective case than the one that comes with it if you carry it around regularly, but again that's a very minor issue. All in all a very durable lens at a very good price. Compared to what reputable manufacturers offer for a hundred euros, you really can't go wrong.
