Review on πŸ“· Meike 50mm F1.7 Full Frame Manual Focus Prime Lens: Perfect for RF Mount Cameras EOS-R, EOS-RP, R5, R6 by Mark Lodge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Manual focus lens

Received very quickly. It was really easy to install and I liked that it mounts directly to my Canon r camera without using a ring adapter. The whole system with built-in lens is quite light and easy to maintain. It took me a while to get to the camera settings and switch it to manual, otherwise my camera wouldn't see the lens and wouldn't record. What I didn't like was that I couldn't find a reliable way to set focus like manual film cameras had. The resolution of my mirrorless camera's electronic viewfinder isn't good enough to see if everything is in focus or not. I also noticed some chromatic aberrations. You can probably get decent shots in a studio if you connect your camera to an external monitor and have enough time to focus on your subject. For a wildlife photographer, it's better to get something else with auto focus.

Pros
  • Holding my fists
Cons
  • Too stupid
