    Overview

    The Meike 35mm f/1.7 is a compact, all-metal manual focus APS-C lens offering excellent value for budget-conscious photographers. Optically, it delivers sharp center performance, especially stopped down, with nice bokeh, good contrast, and well-controlled chromatic aberration. Weaknesses include soft corners and vignetting wide open, strong field curvature, and a de-clicked aperture ring that can shift accidentally. Build quality is solid for the price. It suits photographers comfortable with manual focus who prioritize affordability and classic rendering over edge-to-edge sharpness.
