Meike 28mm f/2.8 Review

Meike 28mm f/2.8 Verdict

The Meike 28mm f/2.8 lens is well made, handles well and only has the manual focus as a limitation. With the Lumix G6 used for the review finding the point of focus was not easy and when focusing aids are switched on they become very obtrusive when trying to compose an image. However, there is an excellent depth of field scale so setting the hyperfocal distance and then just snapping away is a viable option. At f/5.6 everything is in focus from 30cm to infinity and for a more critical sharpness, the lens could just be set to f/8 to make sure.

The Meike 28mm f/2.8 is a fully capable, sharp lens that can deliver excellent results. All this at an incredibly low price. What's to lose?
