Meike 35mm F1.7 Wide Angle APS-C Manual Focus Prime Fixed 35mm
Its bright f/1.7 aperture and 11-element, 9-group optical design enable shallow depth-of-field and solid light gathering in a manual-focus prime. The lens features super multi-coating to suppress flare, and its 363g alloy build feels substantial yet compact for a budget option. Best for cost-conscious Sony E-mount APS-C shooters learning manual exposure and bokeh control without relying on autofocus.
