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.

Shooting at F1.4 is a nightmare... You'll struggle constantly with focus. But when you've nailed it. It's a thing of beauty. I also recommend shooting at F1.8 as not much difference can be seen with the exception of night shots.This works well on video too... Seeing depth of field on a video I made was unreal.Depth of field is not a problem with Micro four thirds.

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.

Heads up! This is a manual lens, so no autofocus. Takes excellent bokeh photographs on my Panasonic G85 (DMC-G85MK). I fully believe that this product is well worth the money its an extremely affordable low-aperture lens.

This is a nice, little lens. It works well with my BMPCC 4K camera. If you're into the whole blurry background thing, this lens can achieve that.
