Meike 250.95-MFT 25mm

58.7 Macro Score
25mmf/16Micro Four ThirdsIS
Why we recommend this

The f/0.95 maximum aperture and 13-blade diaphragm produce exceptionally smooth bokeh and strong subject isolation on Micro Four Thirds. Its all-manual focus and solid 600g metal build cater to deliberate shooting in astrophotography and nightscapes, where the 0.25m minimum focus unlocks close-up details. This lens suits astrophotographers and low-light street photographers on Panasonic and Olympus MFT cameras who prioritize creative control over autofocus convenience.
