Bought another Meike/Neewer lens

[James23p]

These are Chinese made lens that are all manual they come in Sony E, Fuji X, Nikon One and M4/3 mounts. They are optically good not super good just good but since they run around $65 to 75 USD(remember you said post and I said I am a yank no clue what it costs in Pounds/Euros ) you are still getting a good bargain since they do not require an adapter and they are built like old school Nikkors and I mean the Pre AI type Nikkors, trust me no plastic they are all metal.

I previously bought the 35 f1.7 very nice lens I posted about here over the summer and took some portraits of my grandson. Well now I got a 27 f2.8(42mm FoV on my Fuji) pancake and I am a real sucker for pancake lens I love them. I do tend to prefer the wide normal ie 35m to 40mm vs the straight up 50mm Normal FoV.  I will eventually add their 50mm f2 as a true portrait lens but for now I am still trying to master the MF on my Fuji XE2. My only true complaint is that the focus ring is spaced funny you have a ton of turn for .25 meter to 2 meters then a very small amount from 2 meters to infinity I will have do some testing to see if its true infinity but that does make distance focusing a bit harder.

Ok here are some shots inside, outside and of the lens itself. I will say tis it makes one sexy kit on my XE2 with my leather half case.

That cam looks pretty “cool” in it’s half case.

The 35mm is running about £60 over here 

The colour in No1 looks good but odd if thats what the lens produces or has it been twiddled with 

Just in passing Korky is a he I think all this gender stuff is so confusing these days

Sorry Korky think I mixed you and Clicker up.

I think I might have messed the color up a bit manually trying to remove the CA.

interesting, not come across them before.

I have the NEEWER adjustable ND filters.

There is no way that I could afford a higher priced brand and these do the job ok.
