Description — Meike 12mm f/2.8
The Meike 12mm f/2.8 is a prime lens built for the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mirrorless system. With a fixed 12mm focal length in the wide-angle range, it is a purposeful tool for shooters who want a set perspective without the compromise of a zoom. The f/2.8 maximum aperture provides useful light-gathering capability for a lens of this width.
Focusing is entirely manual — there is no autofocus — making it best suited to photographers who are comfortable with deliberate, hands-on focus control. The lens weighs 300g, staying light enough to maintain the portability advantage of MFT systems. A 72mm filter thread means landscape and architecture photographers can mount their preferred screw-in filters directly.
There is no image stabilization in the lens itself. This is a no-frills, manual wide-angle prime that delivers a native MFT mount fit and a fast-for-the-format aperture in a manageable package.
