Meike 35mm F1.4 Large Aperture Manual Focus Prime MFT Lens for Micro Four Thirds M43 Compatible with Olympus and Panasonic Mirrorless Cameras and BMPCC GH6 OM-1

The ease of use is a standout feature. I was initially hesitant about using a manual focus lens, but this one made the process surprisingly straightforward. The focus ring is smooth and responsive, allowing me to capture sharp and well-focused images effortlessly.But what truly blew me away was the picture quality. The 1.4 large aperture produces stunning, professional-grade photos. Even as a beginner, I was able to achieve beautiful bokeh and razor-sharp images. The lens captures vibrant colors and intricate details with remarkable precision.What's even more impressive is the affordability of this lens. It's a fraction of the price of similar lenses, making it a fantastic choice for anyone looking to step up their photography game without breaking the bank.

Well worth the money. Smooth aperture blade movement so no clicks can be heard when filming. Great shallow depth of field gives a pleasing background. Focus barrel moves smoothly with just the correct amount of friction. I bought the 35mm MFT version so it also works good for medium portrait shots. Would buy again it needed.

MFT cameras really need a huge aperture to get the results you're looking for, at least for full frame looking bokeh and for night use. A 1.4 for $80? Are you kidding?While the $150 25mm 1.7 panasonic or slightly more expensive 20mm are good, you can notice the extra bit of useability at night going down to 1.4 with this.The metal construction is heavy but feels quality, it's smoother than quite expensive plastic MFT lenses. Being quite compact, the weight is quickly forgotten swinging it around.The focal length is perfect for general indoors shots, macro, portraits, and a walk around night lens.Very good lens even if it had been 3-4x the price, so no brainer at 80.

Like most lenses this lens is a little bit soft at f/1.4 however the image is still very usable at those wide apertures especially in the middle of the image. Once you get to about f/2.8 the image is very sharp all the way around. Construction of the lens is fantastic all metal design. It's quite the tank of a little lens. All in all I am very happy with the purchase and at this price point it is one of the better manual focus lenses you can get for the micro four thirds system.

I use this as a primary lens for my panasonic G85 now. Almost every shot I get with it turns out beautiful. The colors and bokeh are amazing. For reference, "Mr. Nice Ty - Someday Not Today (Music Video)" on Youtube is a music video my girlfriend and I shot using almost only this lens for the entire shoot.

If you want to wrest any sort of bokeh out of a micro 3/4 camera, you need a really low F stop and F1.4 is getting down to where you can get some, though not nearly as much as you could with a larger format camera and a low F stop.The lens is all-metal and tight as a drum. Nice and solidly-built. I might have liked the focus ring to be a bit looser, but a bit too tight is much better than too loose. I was out today and enjoyed walking around taking shots with it.At the price, you can't go wrong.

I'm brand new to photography. I have probably been shooting for a sum total of 6 hours, so take this review with a grain of salt. I am using this lens with my Panasonic G7. In the first 20 minutes of using this lens, I was able to get these shots as a total novice.The lens seems solid for the price. I'm excited to keep playing with it. I will update this review if my opinion changes. If I don't update this review, it is because the lens is still serving me well.

I pur hased this lens for fun. I saw it at first as a little cheap lens to try. After getting it I don't know why they sell this so cheap... I would easily pay $400 for this, but it's only $100 and it's my most favorite Lens. I have lenses over 1k in price and I still like grabbing this over those. Solid metal construction, heavy glass, this weighs a bit more than my Lumix G9. Kinda want to buy a second one, just to have two of these.
