The review is interesting. Thank you, Richard ! 0.5Kg lenses could work in m4/3 world, but only if the IQ is wow. As it looks, a wide Laowa lens makes more sense : minimum the same IQ and much lighter lens. Or even Panasonic 9mm F/1.7 would be a better choice, although it was targeted for vlogging.
This looks like a nice little lens. I have an SLR Magic 8mm f/4, but I think the image quality is not as good as this Meike, especially corner performance, and it does not have such a nice manual focus experience either. On the other hand, it is incredibly small and light weight, where the weight seems like the only real disadvantage of the Meike.
Hm i dont know why someone should buy this if there is a laowa 7.5mm 2.0

Hi Christopher, yes I really wish the lens is a bit smaller/lighter
I have just paid £261 for this lens (brand new) from Meike Global with free postage. At this price it looks a great proposition!
Not a bad deal at all, enjoy!
I wish they make the APSC version of this lens. 8mm is perfect for me to do vlogging. I want hold my camera closed to me.
let's see! Thanks for watching :)
First :) That looks like a really cool wide angle lens!
Wow you are fast!! :D Thanks @KwasnikPictures !
Riiiich I got the 35 1.8 its pretty sweet so far! You got me curious about the 24mm!

Unfortunately this lens is not available on Amazon in Europe. :(
It probably will be soon! The lens was just released so may take a while to get to the other warehouse i guess?
