What the HECK IS THIS LENS!

- I've had a good old time testing this mad lens. The Meike 3.5mm spherical fisheye lens really is a unique lens! I've been really impressed with the results, but at the same time this is a very niche lens. It's tons of fun!

220 degrees of pure madness. Blummin’ love it 😆 what do you think?
Oh i Love it. You've convinced me that I have to get one. I so very much appreciate you sharing your learning curve about how to hold the camera to not show your hands or body in the pic. You went thru it so I don't have to! I really love it! And again your such a nice young lady and it somehow comes thru so well on camera. Not many people have that gift. Ill forever be a fan of yours😇😇😇
This lens is already making me feel all kind of things, it seems like such an interesting little fellow, and I know it's a lens that will drive me mad... and that's why I know I'll love it.
just want to say, your videos are super solid and you deserve way more recognition
Do I need it? No. Have you made me want it? YES! *Shakes fist* :P
Hahaha sorry 😂
I have the 6.5mm version and that's a crazy lens, but this lens goes up a step. It looks like great fun. 👍
Already have the 6.5mm meke fisheye and its one off my favorite lenses, i just cant wait to put my hands on this new one! Thank you so much for the video.
Thanks for a great post. I was very fun to watch. I have had the Samyang 7.5mm rectilinear fisheye for a while now and even with that I find it tricky not to get my fingers and toes in the shot. I have taken to using my Ultrapod mini tripod or a selfie stick as a handle and either the self timer or a remote to trigger the shutter. Or just reaching one finger out to press the shutter button while it is on the handle can work too. Perhaps the circular fisheye doesn't do this, but I find with my fisheye a slightly crooked horizon looks much worse than on a longer lens so I always use a hotshoe mount bubble level to keep things straight. With that spherical front element sticking out you are more likely to get lens flare so I always use the hood that came with it but perhaps the circular 3.5mm can't use one at all. I really like shooting photos with it through something like an archway or the branches of a tree that can act as a frame for the subjects in the background.
I always wanted a circular fish-eye, so I'm glad that I've found out about this one recently, and it's a good quality lens for a decent price too. I have the GX80, so the grip won't be a problem. A few years ago when I got my camera, I guess I looked at the Meike 6.5 f2, but I didn't want it because contrary to the this newer 3.5mm version, it crops the top and bottom of the image circle. (This newer one is only for m4/3, and the other one was designed for multiple mounts.)
Thanks for the coupon code too! It was still working at the moment, plus their shop even runs a sale right now, so I was able to get it for a total of $119.99!
love your energy
I’m a GH5 owner and appreciate all your amazing reviews!!! Thank you!
Awesome review. I'm tempted to get one for my Sony...
Have it! Great lens for photos in caverns where light is liw and space is wide. Alos makes great snow globe winter scene!s and garden globes. The lens also captures a decent cropped wide angle lens. I set my camera to Extended Teleconverter and shoot jpg/raw to get a 15 mm equivalent jpg and 7mm raw. My solution to the lens barrel and fingers in the picture is a circle crop. Really enjoying your posts!!!
That’s such a clever idea! And thanks so much for watching ☺️📸❤️
I'd really like to see an updated 20mm f1.7 pancake lens from Panasonic. It's so long overdue for an update with a silent motor and enhanced autofocus.
The 90's Music Videos called, they want their lens back! lol
it is giving me that vibe tho
Thank you!
When the Facebook messenger tone went off I checked my phone 😂
Haha I’m so glad I got someone 🤣
Just watched your channel, you're so under rated... well great work, hope one day I'll see more than million views on your videos ❤
thats nuts, wish i could hang out with my skaterpals
This looks like a fun lens for VR180 video shooting. A pair of cameras with these to get some immersive 3D footage.
Well, fantastic vid, informative, funny, and not too tech heavy. now I am going to have to get one of these lenses just for the fantastic field of view. 😀
I just found you and had to sub! You explain stuff so well and your such a sweet young lady 👩 . Thank u for sharing your knowledge and God bless
Stunning. What angle of view is this actually?
220 degrees I believe!
A 7.5mm Bower offers less distortion, and a square frame without fingers getting in the frame! I use it from time to time, but really challenges the Creative Endeavor like most Fisheye Lenses... They used to be a Big Novelty back in the Film Days, and some were, and still are quite expensive!
At least it proves that the Earth is round! :)
I might buy it just for that!
(To be honest, I was going for ultra wide that was rectangular rather than circular. Some sales sites note that distinction .. many don’t.)
I WANT THIS LENS! .. and I can't explain why.
Yoinks gotta buy one
That's awesome Emily, this must be the first full fisheye lens for MFT.

I'm looking for lenses for a VR rig. I have one important question.
When using the "4K Photo" mode on Panasonic cameras in 1:1 aspect ratio does the lens still produce a full circullar fisheye image or is it chopped (if yes by how much) on the top and bottom?
My GX80 crops in video mode (and 4K photo mode) by 1,11x. I'd like to know if I'm "safe".
Ty in advance and have a nice day!
Essentially it’s perfect if you wanna make Early 2000s inspired music video
Hahaha yes!
The old Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye showed up on Ebay for a measly £30,000 3 years ago, it’s kind of amazing that a lens with the same extreme field of view and decent quality shows up for less than 200 pounds/dollars/euros. I already own the only slightly less extreme Meike 6.5 mm for APS-C mirrorless (190 degree field of view), I think I’ll skip this one for my Olympus cameras.
Thanks for the review.
Cool! Lately I discovered the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 NON-fisheye. Haven’t bought one yet but I’d be super interested to learn your take on it!
I’ve been after that lens for ages it’s so good for astrophotography!
I feel like I'd have an ace time using this for two weeks and then run out of regular ideas for it's use.
If I had few quid spare, I'd probably get one though 😂
Have you tried getting video with this lens on the GH5 with Tele Conversion on? Wondering if it fills the frame.
Having just bought, Wonder on Ratio 4:3 or 1:1 to obtain full circle, using a tripod so no fingers, or legs in shot , Need to find a remote , & why does the GH5 ask about current focal length: Or to change setting? , I set to 3.5mm
It asks just to calibrate the in-body stabilisation 😊
Perhaps you can take pictures by using the touching screen for this fun lens
That is what I've been doing on my olympus em1mk2/3
There is a mural on a building I want to photograph. I wonder if this would work
Damn you, I saw this yesterday and went nahhhh. But, but I shoot virtual tours on my g9 and use a Samyang 7.5, buy now I need to but this, bugger. Well at least it's cheap and I can shoot a 360 with 4 shots instead of 6. Oh go on them, ordered
Haha wonderful, it’s a really interesting lens
Hi there, i also have a G9 and i wanted to ask, were you able to get photos with this lens without getting the grip in the photo?
I shoot with the touch screen and part of the camera still shows up. 3 is way too wide. 6 is fine.
I had this lens before watching your video. How would you use Lightroom to make a rectangular instead of circular image?
This particular fisheye lens I think is much too wide to convert back to a square/rectangular image. You can straighten things somewhat using the Distortion tab in Lens correction in Lightroom, but you’d have to crop in a lot. Much easier for a 7/8mm fisheye
Micro Four Nerds thanks for the personal reply, I’d already tried your recommendations and now need to go experiment more.
Hey Emily. Cool lens. Random question. I a happy G9 user. Have you tried the G9, and if so how does it compare to GH5 for photography/video in your opinion?
Very very very similar. Photography you wouldn’t see much of a difference at all. The gh5 has a few more specialist video features but they’re very similar in terms of quality imo! I’d be very happy with either
@@MicroFourNerds Thanks very much :)
Can’t figure out how to shoot it with it
4:11 You know this thing was meant to go on a tripod. Of course it will see that too, but maybe not if you run it as far forward as you can on a video or macro rail.
Good thinking 99.
Would like to try it at gigs!
I think it’ll be great, really show off the scale
@@MicroFourNerds thinking small gigs, really close to, if not on stage!!!
