Review on πŸ“· MEKE 85mm F1.8 Full Frame Auto Focus Lens: Perfect for EOS EF Mount Digital SLR Cameras! by Jenny Davis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality, aperture, acceptable sharpness, excellent bokeh for a budget lens.

I bought a Meke 85mm lens for specialized portrait photography. I am a retired professional corporate advertising photographer and have been shooting with Canon equipment for decades. The next Canon lens costs twice as much, and the most expensive Canon version costs $1,500. For the non-professional photographer, Meke allows you to shoot wide open at f/1.8 and I get beautiful bokeh that eluded you. You get acceptable sharpness, a solid lens, wide aperture, good bokeh, lens cap, case, cleaning cloth and lens hood. For spontaneous shots in real situations, you don't have to worry about the background, the lens blurs nicely when focusing on the subject. Using accurate center-weighted AF on your subject's face produces fairly sharp detail, not as sharp as glass which costs 2-7x more, but now I can take pictures of my cats that look more professional (with off-camera flash). ). for clear illumination). As with any lens, technique matters. Yes, the autofocus is loud as a whining cat, not good for video work, and a bit creepy in low light, but focus locks on my Canon 6D. So far it has been proven to cost $200. The first shots are posted above.
