Lens Overview — Meike 3.5mm f/2.8

The Meike 3.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens is a prime, manual-focus fisheye lens designed for APS-C mirrorless camera systems. With a focal length of 3.5mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it sits in the wide-angle category and is built to deliver the characteristic immersive, curved perspective that fisheye optics are known for. The lens is compatible with a broad range of mirrorless mounts, including Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, and Nikon Z, making it a versatile option for shooters across multiple platforms.

Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus system present, which suits photographers who are comfortable with deliberate, hands-on focusing technique — a common and accepted approach in the fisheye and creative lens segment. The minimum aperture is f/16, giving a useful exposure range for various lighting situations. At 190g, this is a lightweight optic that won't add significant burden to a compact mirrorless kit.

A 49mm filter thread is included, allowing for use of standard screw-on filters. There is no image stabilization, which is typical for manual fisheye primes in this class. Overall, it represents a compact and accessible fisheye option for mirrorless users across several major mount ecosystems.
