Description — Meike 28mm f/2.8
The Meike 28mm f/2.8 is a manual focus prime lens built for mirrorless camera systems, offering a fixed 28mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. Tipping the scales at just 120g, it is a genuinely lightweight option that won't weigh down a compact mirrorless setup. The 52mm filter thread is a practical choice, compatible with a wide range of readily available filters.
With its manual focus only operation, this lens appeals to photographers who enjoy a more hands-on, deliberate approach to focusing. There is no image stabilization on board, so technique matters when shooting handheld in challenging light. As a standard range prime, the 28mm focal length sits in versatile, everyday shooting territory.
The lens falls into the prime category, meaning no zoom capability — what you see at 28mm is what you get, encouraging intentional composition and movement.
