An especially compact wide-angle prime, the Meike 12mm f/2 Lens is an all-manual lens well-suited for landscape, interior, and architectural subjects requiring a broad field of view. Offered here with a Sony E mount, the lens's f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in a variety of lighting conditions and helps to maintain the small and lightweight form factor for handheld shooting.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is the compatible canon rebel 6ti?

A: Nope. This is meant for mirrorless EF-M mount cameras, like the Canon M50, M6 Mk II, etc.

Q: 2. May we use it on a Panasonic GH5? What we need extra to fit onto a GH 5?

A: No, the Nikon 1 version cannot fit on the GH5, however if you get the micro four thirds version it will fit on the GH5 and that is without an adapter.

Q: 3. What lens adapter do I need to put this on either a Canon 6D or a Canon6D MarkII?

A: As far as we are aware, there is currently no adapter that will allow you to mount an EF-M lens such as the Meike MK-12mm f/2.8 EF-M mount lens onto a 6d / 6d Mk II. That is because the flange focal distance of the EF-M system is smaller than the EF/EF-S flange focal distance; you can go bigger to smaller, but typically not smaller to bigger.

Q: 4. What adapter would i have to use this on my canon rebel 6ti..?

A: You cannot use an EF-M lens on a Canon APS-C or Full Frame camera including the Rebel T6i. An adapter does not exist. The flange distance of an EF-M lens is 18mm and sits close to the sensor. The flange distance of an EF or EF-S lens is 44mm and sits farther from the sensor.

Q: 5. I see that this lens is meant for Nikon CX platform. Any chance for DX? Specifically the D5200

A: No, this lens is not designed for use with Nikon DX cameras, it is intended for use with the Nikon 1 system.

Q: 6. Does the focus ring direction match that of the Fuji native lenses such as the 16 mm 1.4 or is it backwards?

A: The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Lens focuses infinity to the right like Nikon. The Opteka 12mm f/2.8 Lens for Fujifilm Xfocuses infinity to the left like Canon.

Q: 7. This Lens works with Nikon1 J1?

A: Yes, this lens mounts directly and without an adapter to a Nikon 1 J1.

Q: 8. Will this lens fit the Panasonic G95

A: Yes Meike MK-12mm f/2.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds is compatible with the Panasonic G95.

Q: 9. Is this lense compatible with canon rebel 6ti?

A: No, the lens mount is EF-M and the Rebel T6i mount if EF, so the lens is not compatible.

Q: 10. Compatible with olympus pen epl1 and 2?

A: It is compatible with the Olympus Pen E-PL1 and Olympus Pen E-PL2.

I purchased this lens to try out Meike products and I was pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind with the crop factor for APS-C, this works out to be 84mm, so it is akin to an 85mm prime lens for portraits. Overall, the build, construction, and quality are on par with an OEM lens. Bokeh is beautiful in low light, with the balls of light being rounder than I had expected out of a budget lens. The low light capability is pleasing, but as with most lenses, the sharpness increases with higher apertures. Autofocus works as well as expected. I found it to be a very capable lens, good for photos where I want to use moderate zoom capabilities, taking advantage of depth of field, higher background compression, and narrowing the subject focus to avoid wider surrounding scenery. At this price point, I don't worry about taking it with me for casual travel unlike my heavier Cine prime lenses, which are bulky and make me worry more than I should. I'm one of those impulsive buyers who buys all kinds of brands and lenses, and I'm pleased with my experiences with Meike thus far. All of these new manufacturers are really improving the marketplace for consumers. Just like Toyota and Honda were really cheap cars in the 1970s, eventually they became very reputable brands, and Meike is definitely one of those emerging brands coming to the forefront with high quality and lots of bang for the buck.

Very good lens for the price, love placement of aperture ring towards the rear of the lens, to avoid being accidentally rotated. The lens feels very solid, the hood makes a snapping sound when engaged like no other maker when hood is snapped in, get used to that. Very happy with the iq, works very well for me wide open, and renders a lower contrast image which I love while using with my Fuji's! I will definitely keep this lens. I primarily use film sims and shoot jpgs exclusively, I am extremely happy with this lens. You will not be disappointed!
