Meike 33mm f/1.4 AF 33mm
A bright f/1.4 aperture with STM autofocus and built-in stabilization distinguishes this 33mm lens for Sony E APS-C, utilizing 12 elements in 9 groups with one ED element to control aberrations. Its 0.33m minimum focus distance yields strong macro performance (score 85), and a USB-C port enables Android-only firmware updates. Ideal for Sony APS-C shooters who prioritize affordable portrait and close-up work, particularly with bodies like the A6400 or ZV-E10.
