Meike 12mm f/2.8 MFT Lens Review

October 7, 2016
reviews

ePhotozine tested the new Meike 12mm f/2.8 MFT lens which is now in Stock at Amazon (Click here). The reviewer writes:

The Meike 12mm f/2.8 has two great weaknesses, that is, very poor flare resistance and poor sharpness on flat subjects. Take it out into the 3D world though and it is possible to find subjects that allow it to shine. In terms of handling, it is not easy to focus on close subjects, although at a longer range a snapshot setting can be used that will be covered by depth of field. This could be perfect for general street photography.
For those who can accept that there is practice needed to master the best of the lens, the modest price tag could well make it worthwhile.

All Meike MFT lenses are listed at Amazon US (Click here).
