📷 MEKE 28mm f2.8: Quality Manual Focus Lens for Sony E Mount Mirrorless Cameras - NEX 3 3N 5 5T 5R 6 7 A6400 A5000 A5100 A6000 A6100 A6300 A6500 Review

I bought this lens not expecting much for the price but I was pleasantly surprised with the video it shoots on my Sony A6500. Its construction is surprisingly solid, and the movement of its focus and aperture rings is smooth and easy to manipulate during video recording. balance), add minimal weight and give me an equivalent focal length of 35mm (APSC camera), which allows me to get really good natural shots without the distortion of a wider lens, but at the same time also being able to…

Got this lens for my A6000 converted to infrared. I was looking for a wide angle lens that didn't produce hotspots and was very happy to see that this lens didn't contain hotspots! Other advantages: sharpness, very low distortion and very low vignetting. It is an all-metal construction, quite small and light. On the other hand, I have to agree with Christopher Lee on the aperture. I haven't done any rigorous testing, but it's clear the dial is way off the mark. The metal lens cap on my example…

This lens was a pleasant surprise! Image quality and build quality are top notch. The photos taken with this thing with minimal fuss can rival or even surpass those taken with my MUCH more expensive Sony, Sigma and matched Canon lenses! Very good value for money and the super compact camera is great for landscape photography when travelling. Also good for still lifes and even portraits as long as your subject stays still. The clickless aperture also allows for some creative video effects like…

Edit 5/2019: It was brought to my attention that Amazon has mixed reviews of 28mm and 50mm. My rating refers to 28mm. I hadn't used 50mm at that point. This lens is amazing! It's light, compact and fairly sharp in the center with a wide open aperture. The corners are slightly open and the vignetting is nice but not intrusive. Stop it a bit and it gets sharper, except maybe the last 3% outside the corners. Like all lenses, it is made of metal. I think I should deduct a star because the focus…

I was blown away by the sharpness of this lens. It's sharper than my Nikkor 35mm f2.0. It's also very compact and lightweight. The only thing I don't like: * very difficult to assemble and remove. Others have mentioned it. * I wish the focus ring was wider. * Engraved distance and depth of field scales are wrong. The same applies to other Chinese manual lenses. Don't pay attention to them. While I like this and other inexpensive manual lenses, they all have very steep focus threads and…

Edit: Ugh. Revain paired the 28mm with the 50mm, meaning reviews are mixed. Why should they do this? To be clear, my review is for a 28mm f/2.8 manual focus lens for the Sony E-mount. First, I agree with the reviews that say this lens is sharp. And it's sharp right in the corners when a little muted. I'll leave the details to others as they are well documented. So what's the problem? You might not believe it, but I thought the bezels were wrong. Aperture values from f/2.8 to f/22 are indicated…
