Lens Overview — Meike 8mm f/3.5
Key Features — Meike 8mm f/3.5
8mm Fisheye Prime: Fixed 8mm focal length delivers the characteristic extreme barrel distortion and immersive wide perspective associated with fisheye optics.
APS-C Coverage: Designed specifically for APS-C sensors, producing a full circular or near-circular fisheye image depending on the camera system used.
f/3.5 Maximum Aperture: Reasonably fast aperture for a fisheye design, allowing use in moderately low-light conditions without flash.
Manual Focus Only: Focus is set entirely by hand, which suits the deep depth of field typical of ultra-wide fisheye lenses.
Multiple Mount Options: Available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds mounts, covering a wide range of APS-C mirrorless and DSLR bodies.
No Filter Thread: The strongly curved front element does not accept standard screw-on filters, which is typical for fisheye lenses of this design.

Description — Meike 8mm f/3.5
The Meike 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens is a prime, manual focus optic built specifically for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. Its 8mm focal length produces the sweeping, curved perspective that fisheye lenses are celebrated for, making it well-suited to creative and specialty photography applications. The lens opens to a maximum aperture of f/3.5, providing a solid light-gathering baseline for a wide-angle fisheye design.
Weighing 569g, it offers a solid build without being burdensome during extended shooting sessions. One of the standout practical features is its availability across four mount systems — Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds — meaning a wide range of APS-C mirrorless photographers can take advantage of the same optic. There is no image stabilization and no autofocus, so this lens rewards photographers who are comfortable with manual technique.
No filter thread is specified, consistent with the curved front element typical of fisheye designs. For shooters looking to explore ultra-wide fisheye perspectives on their APS-C mirrorless body, the Meike 8mm f/3.5 offers broad mount flexibility and a dedicated prime construction.
