J'ai choisi le Meike 55mm F1.4, un objectif très abordable qui offre une belle ouverture lumineuse de f/1.4, son autofocus manuel ou automatique est très efficace et la finition est soignée pour le prix de ce produit.Il dispose d'une prise USB-C pour les mises a jour et il est livré avec ses protections et son pare-soleil.Déjà utilisateur de plusieurs produits de la gamme Meike, je suis encore une fois ravie de la qualité de ce produit !Parfait pour les portraits ou photo de produits.Utilisation avec un Sony A6000.

Przesyłka przyszła szybko, zgodnie z deklarowanym terminem - zresztą jak zawsze z Amazon.Obiektyw był w oryginalnym pudełku, z fabryczną plombą. W środku sprzęt zabezpieczony w miękkim piankowym woreczku i twardszych "ustalaczach pozycji".W zestawie otrzymujemy pokrywki przednią i tylną oraz zasłonę przeciw słoneczna. Osłona zapina się z wyraźnym oporem, co powoduje mała trudność przy pierwszym "założeniu" ale też zapewnia, że przypadkowo sama się nie odkręci.Testy działania wykonałem z Sony a6000.Nie jest to mój pierwszy obiektyw od Meike, posiadam, również 85/1.8 AF. Jestem amatorem.Obiektyw posiada przełącznik AF/MFW trybie AF "łapie" ostrość dosć szybko i dokładnie. Tryb MF dobrze wspołpracuje z Focus Peaking aparatu oraz wspomaganiem (powiększenie przy kręceniu pierścieniem ostrości), przy niskich ustawieniach przesłony, i gdy obiekt fotografowany jest blisko, wymagana jest spokojna ręka, ostrosć "łapie" ostro (sic!), to znaczy minimalny ruch pierścienia ostrości(fajnie działającego) wprowadza duże zmiany. Pierścień przesłony jest płynny w działaniu, mamy cały czas aktualny podgląd na wizjerze i ekranie aparatu jak mamy fizycznie ustawioną przesłone.Podobają mi się zdjęcia z tego obiektywu. Są ostre, ładne tonalnie, z fajnym bokeh. Mam wśród swoich obiektywów manualny oldschool pentacon prakticar 50/1.8 i na pewno się go pozbędę I pozostanę przy tym meike 55/1.4. Ostanie zdjęcia z recenzji wykonałem za pomocą tego obiektywu. Natomiast trzy ostatnie zdjęcia zostały manualnie przycięte żeby pokazać szczegóły/ostrość. Polecam 🙂

I got the Meike 55mm f/1.4 lens as an alternative for my Sony a6500 e-mount platform. It has an auto-focus/manual option, and I like the versatility. As others have said, when you shoot in Manual mode, it tends to make you a better photographer because you have to control all of the variables. That being said, I went into this purchase with the mindset that it is a budget-friendly prime lens, and kept in perspective the value orientation rather than a pure performance play. This lens did not disappoint whatsoever! Based on its features, the feel, the performance, and the overall value, I feel like I purchase an OEM product at roughly half the price.I took some challenging photos, both with relatively low light, with shadows, varying depths, and some backlighting. It did fine, and it was fairly sharp. Unless I’m going to pixel hunt through the photo, being super sharp is irrelevant unless it is an enlarged portrait or I’m selling it to Getty. In both instances, I opened up the aperture and let the camera use automatic settings. It would have been sharper if I lowered the f-stop, but the whole point was to use challenging settings. Adjustments and controls with ISO, shutter speed, aperture, metering would have improved the picture. With most photographs, it has a lot to do with the photographer’s skill.With regard to the physical characteristics, the Meike 50mm has a hefty, solid build. The focus ring is glassy smooth, and aperture ring clicks with satisfying certainty. It is compact and lightweight, especially for a low aperture lens. It’s great for general carry and street photography, since it is does not stand out. Of course, everything boils down to optical quality and it is exceptional for the price. Like most other low aperture lenses, sharpness improves when stopping down to f/2.8 or f/4.0, which is where most photographs are taken when there is adequate light. Of course, the benefit of having that extra stop of light with an f/1.4 is extremely helpful when you need it. Having f/1.4 also provides great depth of field for the average photographer, which many people equate to “professional looking” photographs. No doubt, this lens is for the value-minded photographer and gives 90% of camera owners exactly what they are looking for in a f/1.4 lens, except at an exceptional price. The remaining 10% can be summarized as the finicky photographers who need to pay twice the price to get small gains in quality, many of which can be handled using software. Things like chromatic aberration are concepts most casual photographers have never heard of, and hence, don’t even look for it. If you know what it is, you won’t recognize it. If you know what it is, you can basically take care of it in post processing. The same goes with Distortion and Vignetting. They show up more in wide aperture settings, but again, are only discernable to those who usually pay 2x to 5x the price for an ultra-high quality lens. Bottom line is that for the casual photographer, this is a very competent lens for the bag, and it won’t empty your wallet. That just means you’ll have more money to pick up other lenses. You won’t go wrong having this in your bag. Let’s be realistic, people in the 1940s took great photos without having lenses as technologically advanced as this one. Learn good photographic techniques, and everyone will be amazed. I personally look forward to investing in their Cine lenses, since they provide such great quality and value.I want to add an additional comment that less experienced photographers might not realize. With my Sony APS-C sensor, the crop factor for 55mm is equivalent to an 84mm on a full frame sensor. This means it is roughly eqivalent to an 85mm full frame lens, which is optimal for portrait photography. When you shoot portraits, this gives you a close up (zoom) view, which reduces distortion that you'd find with wide angle shots. It also gives you good depth of field, where your subject pops out in detail from the background. It also has this (less known) effect of creating background compression, making the items in the background larger than life. If you use a wide angle and capture the entire scene, the far away items in the background look tiny. When you zoom up, the background looks larger. Sometimes, another benefit of zooming up is to eliminate the rest of the scene, where you concentrate your subject. For example, you eliminate taking a picture of other people who walk into the picture, or ugly trash cans that would otherwise ruin the photo. You end up isolating the subject and controlling what goes into the picture.

Unglaublich, wie sich die chinesischen Anbieter von Kameraobjektiven gemausert haben. Vor wenigen Jahren noch eher ein Kuriositätenkabinett für experimentierfreudige Exotensammler, sind sie inzwischen zu vollwertigen Konkurrenten der etablierten Platzhirsche gereift.Dieses Modell ist ein perfektes Beispiel für diese Entwicklung.Preisgünstig, mit guter Schärfeleistung (ein wenig weich an den Rändern, aber schon ab f2.8 nahe an der Perfektion), ansprechendem, weichem Bokeh (ab f4) und einem leisen und agilen Autofokus stellt die Meike Linse eine interessante Alternative für den preisbewussten Fotografen dar.Eine sehr gute Porträtlinse (APS-C = 85mm Äquivalent) leider mit einem Hang zu chromatischen Aberrationen (vor allem bei starken Kontrasten) – aber nichts, was man in Post mit einem Mausklick nicht in den Griff bekommen würde.Die Sigma 56mm 1.4 ist eine erwähnenswerte Alternative, die mit einer etwas besseren Schärfenperformance und leichtfüßigerem Autofokus punktet, aber dafür das doppelte kostet.

I TRIED AND TRIED FOR SO MANY WEEKS AND STILL THE LENS NOT FOCUSINGI CHANGE THE CAMERA AND USED OTHER LENS STILL SAME PROBLEM
