Tbh i really don't need this lense but im here for the support
And I appreciate it!!
Love to see so many of the budget manual focus companies jumping into the auto focus game with good results, like meike and ttartisan. Look forward to what they come out with next!
Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it.
I'd be VERY surprised if Mark didn't have ZVE-10 mkII review unit hiding somewhere in his house under an NDA by now. 😁 We see you! 🫵
lol he definitely does... Mark wink twice if you got that ZV E10 II in hand
he deff has it
He does seem to have a spring in his step :)
2 days hopefully 🤞 I’ve already got one on future reserve at my local shop
😂
Nice video as always. I received this lens for Nikon a month ago and I was amazed at the image quality. Great job Meike.
My friend, your presentation of the material is incomparable! a million likes at once! :)
This guy content is just straight up fire consistently, thank you!
thanks!! 🔥🔥
Another great video!
Just came to say ANY REVIEW from Mark is always PLEASANT WATCH.
thanks!!
Not looking for a new lens but here to like the vid and comment, best camera channel ❤
You're the best type of person!!
i didn't know meike made auto-focus. i have a couple of their manual lenses and love them. i may get this. thanks for the video.
Going to buy to support channel
great one man, I want to see you at the top.
Thanks - me too 🤣
I love your channel super hd
another great lens , I grabbed one for my fuji X-T5
Hi mark love your vids!
Thanks!!
thats a great lens for that price range its not perfect not all lenses are perfect but for that budget holy moly thats a great lens for apsc potraits
Because of you, I decided on finally picking up a zv-e10. Now, I am crazy over lenses!
me too!!
I’ve bought this camera twice! In part because of Mark. 😂 and I love lenses too, of course 😅
Finally, someone pronounced Meike and interpret it correctly! BTW do you know that Laowa is actually "old frog" in direct translation?
Haha - old frog!!
I wonder how good it would be for some specific videos shoot. Kindly do a review on that.
Quite interested in this lens, does it show vignetting when mounted on full frame?
Can you please compare this lens with TTArtisan 56mm F1.8 ?
Great review Mark! Between YongNuo 50mm and Meika's , which is better for the price?
I’ll try to do a comparison
Great lens. But would have loved to see some video footage and also what the coverage looked like on full frame, both in photo and video. Thanks.

Hi Mark, I’m so glad I have been following your recommendations which has helped me a lot. I have a quick question :
I own a zve10 and fx30 and using 3rd party lenses like sigma and tamaron. Any news at your end of planning to restrict third party lenses in their latest firmware upgrades?? I was planing to invest on more lenses like the viltrox 27mm f1.2 but a lot of local vendors here gave me this insight about Sony planning to restrict the functionality of third party lenses in their upcoming firmware upgrades! Looking forward to your thoughts on this ! Thanks
I don't have any insight, but I can say that Sony has always had an open system which is why they were so successful. I don't think that will change Sony already has built some advantages in for themselves - burst rate of over 15fps is reserved for sony and better stabilization happens with sony lenses and sony bodies. I still buy 3rd party, myself. I think Sony would see a major backlash if they restricted 3rd party further
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisyes I have similar thoughts thanks for your prompt response ! Also that brings me to my next : Viltrox 27mm f1.2 or sigma 30mm f1.4 ! Which one would u choose if there’s an option to choose only one.
Hey Mark, how does it compare to the Sony E 50mm F1.8 OSS? I can only buy one... Let me know your thoughts.
You my hero.

Speaking of AF, do you mean that this lens misses focus sometimes or slow focusing? It seems to me that camera should re-adjust focus and wait until it locks on
it can be a bit slow, but when using afc, sometimes it will grab something else. like the hair instead of the eye.But most of the time it’s spot on
I’m just here lurking g for the ZV-E10ii review. We all know you have it.
😂
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisistwink twice if you have it Mark 😂😂
Have you ever have any experience with TT artisan 35mm f1.8 Autofocus?? 200cad priced.
please compare this lens with sigma 56 1.4
I'm just searching for a lens and get so confused. So is this designed for APS-C so the 55mm is really 55mm (not 55x1.5 = 82mm APS-C compatible from a full frame lens)??
Yes
Hi! No, its not 55. You still need to apply crop factor. A Fuji apsc 23mm lens is 35 mm full frame equivalent with a x1.6 crop factor. A micro four third 25mm lens is 50mm equivalent with a x2 crop factor.
It’s a 55mm lens, but you get a field of view equivalent to 80 ish mm on a full frame camera.
To get a 55mm field of view on your apsc camera, you will need to get an apsc lens of 35mm ish
So, with full frame, the focal length stated on the lens is what you get.
For smaller sensor sizes, multiply the stated focal length by the crop factor of the sensor size to get your actual field of view, which is measured in relation to full frame field of view.
This is why some wildlife folks love smaller sensors. A 400mm micro four thirds lens gives you an 800mm equivalent reach and gets you much closer to the action.
Hope that helps!
Nope, it doesn't work like that. Apsc lens means the picture will only fit the apsc sensor so if you put to full frame you need to do some cropping. In other scenario full frame lens will give much more information more than what the apsc sensor could take (out of frame), so it's losing some sharpness.
how does it fare compared to the Sony 55mm f1.8 ?
Do they make a 35mm canon ef autofocus lens?
If they make it iwould think to buy it. Sony 35 mm for apsc is getting too old :(
I have Sony 50 mm f1.8 OSS. Is Meike F1.4 will be better than that or shall i wait for less expensive other focal length lenses....
For APSC, the Meike will be a bit better, but the Sigma 56 is often at a price used especially that is really good
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you sir. 👍🏻
I love your channel. You have a great personality. You do amazing videos but it’s time that you figured out your sign in the background has zero contrast and the blue light for people with bad eyes sucks. I’m a positive person and I’m trying to help you out here put white light in the blue sign and people might be able to read it. Sorry to be blunt, but I’m trying to help. It’s so hard to read the sign in thebackground. Keep up the great work love your videos.
😂
nobody cares about the sign we care about the products he reviews and his cool personality!
Which one should I go for between ttartisan 56 or meike, Mike?
Since I have the Sigma 56, I think I'll pass.
For some reason, this lens flew under a lot of reviewers radars. I think it's because the TTArtisans and Viltrox 56mm lenses came out around the same time for a little less money. I zeroed in on this one. I have the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 C lens for the Fuji mount and was looking to sell it. Saw that I could get $300 on the used market for it and I could pick this up brand new for $200 and thought it would be nice to try out. I actually like it more because of the aperture ring and both of these lenses focus better than the native Fuji lens. The lens hood is a weakness...it feels like junk. I may end up trying to find an alternative that threads in.
Also, glad you were able to fend off all the ladies coming after you to bring us this excellent review. LOL
Thanks for the real world experience. And the ladies can be insistent!! 🤣
How many different Chinese/Korean companies are making lenses for our favorite cameras?
Note: This is made in Hong Kong. We have lenses made in China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and South Korea. Just talking about Asian countries not European countries.
One other thing, the colors of your photos really pop out. Simply beautiful. Are the JPEG?
A LOT
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thanks, that sums it up.
I didn’t see the second part, I used mostly raw photos with some minor editing (usually just the auto setting in Lightroom)
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Whatever you do, the colors grabs my attention. I wish the area I live in has as much character. Desert cities by Riverside, CA, is loaded with glorious brown dirt. We see it in the air when the wind blows.
Still using the leeming lut?
yes indeed
My name is Habtamu i am from Ethiopia, nice lens...good value for money. Would you make full frame 85 mm 1.4 as well?
on the way
Do you play football?
@@bradl2636 why you asked me this question bro....
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis good.so would make a comparison with Sony FE 85 mm 1.8 from image sharpness, chromatic aberration, autofocus, bokeh ball, color rendition, lens flaring and other important lens parameters.
In Germany it cost almost 300 Euro /:
When they work on AF, its an Beats of a Lens. I'm not gonna lie o:
The ke part of meike can mean science as well
good to know!!
Still waiting for a less expensive 16mm F1.4 to compete against sigma.
Hi sir
Hello!!
This or TTartisan for AF?
The TT Artisans is a f1.8 aperture one, I ended up going with meike one.
Mark your doing too many Chinese lens reviews lately, you should balance it out and try out the sigma 28-45 f/1.8.
Maybe you're not getting all the videos in your feed. I already reviewed that Sigma lens. As well as the Sigma 24-70 Art ii and my last video compared the Sony 16-25, the tamron 17-28 and the Sigma 16-28. I also did a tripod, two mic videos, and a gimbal video . So out of my last 10 - there were two Chinese lens videos (although I did do a third comparing one to a sigma). But not too bad of a balance, no?
@MarkBennettCameraCrisis sorry, I missed that video, will watch it now. Thanks for the response.
I'd pay $201 for an F 1.6
I’ve got one for you
Just blur the whole thing out, subject and all 😂😂
that’s best when it’s a photo of me 🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis that makes two of us 🤣
Funny in europe is 559 euros 😂
How come, bro. It's no more than 300 euros in Germany.
I hope the cheap and cheerful Chinese lens outfits sell enough lenses like this to scare the real lens artisans like Nikon, Leica, Voigtlander, Hasselblad and Minolta (err sorry Sony) into making better quality innovative lenses.
In this world, there are two kins of people, Tuco said. Those who will spend the money and those who are cheap.
First 5 years to build reputation and sell them at a lose.
interesting thought
I always see your vids and like them reviews. I thought I was subscribed but I wasn't 😅.
Well now I am lol 😆🫡 cheers mate
Thanks for the sub!
