Thank you very much for this! I am on kind of a budget but still want to start photographing. I thought I had to wait until I had more money to spend on it, but thanks to you I bought a sony a6000 and started with the kit lens. I also bought an adapter to use my Minolta 50 mm lens, and now I found this video and ordered this lens. So now I feel I have something to start with and didn't have to spend too much money on it either! Thank you :D
I also had MK1(F1.7), but I didn't like it's click-less aperture ring because it happened so many times that I accidentally hit the ring without even notice it, so at the end I sold it, and bought Sigma 30mm f1.4, and I won't look back!
Definitely buying this lens. Been looking at all different budget lenses for my zve-10for days now and I have been confused especially for videos until I found ur video. Thank yoy
I got my A6400 yesterday, together with the Sigma 30 + 56. Awesome combo. Did you also notice how the lenses have a lot of difficulty with vertical lines in the background? This is the only minor downside to the lenses. I agree with you about the colors-they are excellent. Thank you for another pleasant video. For that price the Meike seems a no brainer, even though I have the Sigma 30. Ciao from The Netherlands!
can someone tell me what the benefits are to purchasing this over the 1.7 aside from the aperture? like, is the image better? is there less distortion? is the focus ring smoother?
There is one comparason that I would like you to do. Please check if the a6400 is better that a6500 in fhd 1080-60p. Thank you so much, and keep on going with your nice job.
Can you do a shoot-out of all the upgraded budget 30-35mm lens? Like the Neewer 35mm f1.2, Meike 35mm f1.4, 7artisans 35mm f1.2? And maybe even throw in the Sigma 30mm f1.4 since that’s kind of the ‘go-to’ for that focal length?
I am very new to the Sony a6000 suite of cameras and will probably buy the a 6400. So far as this Meike lens is concerned, I have not found it difficult to set up focus peaking and set the 6000 I have on loan to manual focus. Highlighted peaking ( I have chosen red for no particular reason) clearly show an area in focus, which may be necessary with a 1.4 lens with v narrow depth of field.
I just got this lens, and need some tips to get the best quality fotos of it. Which camera mode should use and setings?... by the way, the lens is easy to set the focus and aperture.
Hello, i recent buyed a sony a6000 pack kit brand brand new(sony bag, 16gb card and 16-55mm and 55-210mm lenses) for 600 euros i thout it to be a good purchase to take better quality fotos of family and baby. Then i found your vídeos and now i want to use more potencial of the a6000 , so i decided to get a prime lens but with no budjet i found that this manual 35mm would do it for now until i can get the sony 35mm. Thanks for your effort and dedication to this type of content, you are doing a great job. I hope i be like you enjoy family and taking fotos.
So crazy. I was watching the clips and said out loud... WOW the colors look awesome. Do a test and see if its the lens for the 6400. I didn't realize you were shooting those on the 6000. Colors were GREAT. interesting. Thanks for the tea. Subscribed..
In your a6400 upcoming review, please share your thoughts comparing with FF. You have so much experience with a6000 series and lenses. What is your take on FF versus APS-C sony ? I am pondering to get a FF a7iii or a 6400 (2 or 3k usd with lenses), to get better results in low light conditions and bokeh than even with latest phone samsung s10+ or xsmax or huawaei p30 (more as an enthousiat than pro). I noticed that crop factor needs to be applied to Fstop, not just focal length, so FF maybe way of future. Leica Q2 seems cool but pricey as compact. Thanks...
I'm in the same boat. I'm upgrading and I can either get the a7ii or a6400 for around $1400au. The a6400 seems to have better auto focus but everyone raves about the a7ii because of its in body stabling system and being full frame. Would be great to see a a7ii vs a6400 👍
Is this lens recommended for Wedding Videography. With A6000 with Ronin SC (standard) Will the focus keep bothering me? (minimal tweaks everytime is fine) I'm on budget so. Please suggest.
can you tell me which difference there is between the 1.4 and the older 1.7? i can get a secondhand 1.7 now for 89 euros or should i go for the new 1.4? is it only difference in bokeh or also better improved distortion? thankyou in advance and for sharing these videos!
Can I adapt it to a DSLR? I cant find any lenses in this price range with equivalent image quality and aperture for my crop sensor DSLR canon 500D the biggest step up from 50mm 1.8 costs over twice as much and not worth it
This new meike lens colour has improved alot compared to its other lens. Is it the a6400 effect or the lens? I need to find out if this new lens is worth buying, i just can't accept the previous model's vintage colour tone.
This might be a stupid question but do all the assist functions still work on the camera even if this is a manual lens? For example the focus magnifier, the colored highlighter to show what is focused in the photo, etc.?
My Sony A6000 suddently stopped working and not turning on. When i try to turn on it just blinks the screen three times and then nothing happens. Tried all solution available online such as holding all buttons twice without battery but did not work. Can you help me out please?
The a6400 has great colours. Believed it was the lens at first. Now i wany one lol. Not a fan of the a5100 colours. Otherwise, lens looks good. Might buy one. Its nice to see that meike update their lens.
I have an a6000. I’m looking for something sharper and better in low light that the kit lens. The 35mm f1.4 seems to check both of these boxes. I’d also like to shoot landscape with the lens is it wide enough? Can I also use panorama mode to get a wider shot?
Hi! Nice review! How would you compare this to 7artisan 35mm 1.2? I intend to use such a lens on Panasonic GH5S for video always on a tripod almost exclusevily for indoor talking heads. I like the sharpness and extra light from the faster lenses but I am concered a bit with chromatic aberration, which is not easy to fix in video.
I recently got the A6000 but have No lense yet just the body.. Would your recommend this lense over the Kit lense 16-50mm for beginners who want to use it for blogging and private use while travelling?
Great video. I bought that lens but when I preess the botton to make the photo, it doen'st take it. How I should I congigured my camara? It's a Canon m50.
Teacher: What are you laughing at??
Me: Nothing...
My brain: *Meike Mouse*
Haha good memes
No way this made me laugh.
Will you do a side a side to side comparison with the 7artisans 35mm F1.2?
Wainting for your answer...
Also looking for this!
I have both, and meike is better for all except weight and size.
Don't try the 7artisans. It's crap. Christopher frost has a review about this lens.
@@pdebie1982 but the meike is better than that lens right?
Your sample photos look sharp. If you dont mind, include more low light sample video.
Your sample pics just keep getting better and better.
Thank you very much for this! I am on kind of a budget but still want to start photographing. I thought I had to wait until I had more money to spend on it, but thanks to you I bought a sony a6000 and started with the kit lens.

This is a must buy lens. I have the x mount version for the fujifilm xt100. It is sharp and very easy to focus with fantastic color.
Another brilliant and very comprehensive review. I have the MK1 (F1.7) version of this lens, but I’m really tempted by this new version!
I also had MK1(F1.7), but I didn't like it's click-less aperture ring because it happened so many times that I accidentally hit the ring without even notice it, so at the end I sold it, and bought Sigma 30mm f1.4, and I won't look back!
The video is actually really clear I’m pleasantly surprised going to add this to my collection thank you!
Dude, this channel helped me a lot. i hope you reach a 100k subs real soon! more power to you, brother!
and bro, if its alright with you, i know you wont need that lens, can i have it instead? ^_^
Is the a big difference between the f1.4 and the f.17?
are you gonna make a comparison video of this lens vs the 7artisans 35mm 1.2?
Definitely buying this lens. Been looking at all different budget lenses for my zve-10for days now and I have been confused especially for videos until I found ur video. Thank yoy
Always look forward to your videos!
Sir, this lens can suit for Panasonic lumix GF6??

Hi. Does focus peeking work on 6400 when using a Manual lens?
Yes it does. Its a great lens as well.
Please do a comparison this vs the 30mm f1.4 sigma
agree
@@kentheeditor Thought he did one over 12 months'' ago?
Would you recommend this lens for a makeup artist ? For closeup videos ?
No, if you are shooting yourself you want autofocus.
Arthur R what lens would you recommend if I only want to shoot a video of my one eye 😭 like those Instagram makeup tutorials?
Wich do you prefer, this lens or kamlan f1.1?
sony a6000 lensa meike 50mm F2 How do you use it?
The aperture I use does not appear
If there is a technique, please guide me
Which would you recommend to buy between mieke 35mm f1.4 and 7artisans f1.2?
Mieke 35 f1.4
They might use the same optics.
7artisans is too soft,did not like it
Like other folks are saying the 7artisans is way too soft. This F1.4 is very sharp even wide open.
can someone tell me what the benefits are to purchasing this over the 1.7 aside from the aperture? like, is the image better? is there less distortion? is the focus ring smoother?
ahh don’t make me buy one more lens😁
Literally just bought it hahaha
Will it work on Nikon D series?
hello a question I bought that same lens for my sony a6400 camera but when I put it in video mode I get black lines in the video
Would u say this a cine lens ?
It is a good impression lens!
Your wife is as beautiful as ever, and your baby is also very cute!
Yes, and his voice is so lovely!
We are not on a beuty site , this is phtography and beside his wife is Chinese
@ bro pick up a copy of rosetta stone and learn how to spell.
@@babybottle1221 that's not what Rosetta's for, trolling needs work. But yea his spelling is terrible.
Your video is more crispy with the a6400 & sigma combo. How's the AF ? Is the tracking as amazing as we've seen with Sony lenses?
It is very close, truly surprised with how good the Sigma 30mm F1.4 performs on the A6400.
Will you do a detailed three-way comparison between the Meike 1.4 vs Meike 1.7 vs Sony 35mm? That would be delightfully nerdy :)
I´ve already bought it for cooking video recipes with my a6000. Right choice?
There is one comparason that I would like you to do.
Please check if the a6400 is better that a6500 in fhd 1080-60p.
Thank you so much, and keep on going with your nice job.
Colors are noticeably better in the a6400 + sigma combo. :)
how much is the sigma?
@@kasterchoi7952 about 4 times more money.
Hahaha that the consequence
Is it only good for crop sensor or full frame?
do you need an adapter for this ??newbie here
I'll add this lens to my Christmas list. I'm loving my 6400 camera.
Can you do a shoot-out of all the upgraded budget 30-35mm lens? Like the Neewer 35mm f1.2, Meike 35mm f1.4, 7artisans 35mm f1.2? And maybe even throw in the Sigma 30mm f1.4 since that’s kind of the ‘go-to’ for that focal length?
Strange thing at 1:09! The infinity point scrolled to the left more than a mark on lens?
That is Normal there is some excess travel for tolerances in manufacturing and expansion/contraction conditions in the materials.
I would like to see how this lens compares to the Sigma 30mm
Why Meike not making for NIkon F mount
will it get cropped into 60mm?
if we use it with a6000
I'm ordering this now
So Whats better the meike 35 1.4 or 7artisans 35 1.2 ? i want to buy a 35mm manual ?
CA can be fixed with a software, you can't increase resulotion in post processing. Good release.
Hi Arthur, can you please do a comparison between the kit lens and the Meike 35mm f1.4 ?
Is it usable for canons or not
Sir can i use that in my canon eos m6?
Exellent review as always. Thank you very much. Got the lens for the Fujifilm System. It´s super sharp and easy to focus.
Can it be used on a Canon M50?
Does it have a version for canon?
how does this compare with the brightin star?
Can we use it on a sony A 6600?
chromatic aberration wise is this lens better then the 1.7 tho? model and is the crispness quality wise?
hey arthur could you do me a favor and measure the length of the lens? too many conflicting infos on the internet..

Just as an FYI, you multiply f-stop for DOF ONLY, it is still a 1.4 as far as light gathering ability
Is this lens recommended for Wedding Videography.

Will the focus keep bothering me? (minimal tweaks everytime is fine) I'm on budget so. Please suggest.
Does focus peaking work with this on the a6600?
Yes, it does.
excellent small and heavy lens, got it yesterday and love it! the focus ring has a turn radius of around 190° which is great for focusing.

This might be a stupid question but do all the assist functions still work on the camera even if this is a manual lens? For example the focus magnifier, the colored highlighter to show what is focused in the photo, etc.?
Yes, those two items work.
Do you compare this lens with vintage lenses M42/OM/FD?
Do you use focus peeking to focus manually?
zoom in to focus. Focus peaking isnt precise enough for really shallow DOF.
Pls help me, what the hack is the perfect aperture lens for portaits?
Is it compatible with Lumix g7...
