Meike MK-S-35mm 35mm
Its f/1.7 maximum aperture in a weather-sealed, 176g metal body yields sharp, bright images with Nano coating reducing flare. The compact, all-manual focus design offers precise control at a budget-friendly price, ideal for travel and street photography. This lens is best for Fujifilm X-mount shooters wanting a lightweight normal prime for low-light scenes and environmental portraits, not close-up macro work.
