What Buyers Say
Meike 50mm f/0.95 50mm
The Meike 50mm f/0.95 lens is praised for its fast aperture and creamy bokeh, especially on cinema cameras like the Blackmagic Pocket. However, it is not designed for pixel-peeping professionals seeking ultimate sharpness. The lens is only compatible with mirrorless systems, not DSLRs like the Canon 90D. It lacks a clickless aperture ring and does not include a lens hood.
Pros
- Fast f/0.95 aperture
- Creamy bokeh
- Great for cinema cameras
Cons
- Not for professional sharpness seekers
- Only compatible with mirrorless systems
- No clickless aperture ring
- No lens hood included
Tamron Di III VC 28-300mm f/4-7.1 Di III VC VXD
