$(document). ready(function() { SampleGalleryV2({"containerId":"embeddedSampleGallery_8328050497","galleryId":"8328050497","isEmbeddedWidget":true,"selectedImageIndex":0,"isMobile":false}) }); Chinese lens manufacturer Meike has added a new version of its existing 50mm F1.
7 lens to its range, but this time for full-frame Sony users. The existing model, introduced in February, was aimed at users of mirrorless cameras systems and comes in APS-C and MFT mounts. The newly released version features a wider covering circle meant for larger sensors – at the moment those in Sony E-Mount cameras.
As before, this new model is manual focus only and has a minimum focus distance of 50cm. It uses 6 elements in 5 groups and has a filter thread that measures 52mm. Meike says it weighs 310g, measures 61x54. 5mm, and that it uses a metal mount and barrel. Although the spec sheet doesn’t mention the number of blades in the iris, the product shots show 12 edges on the aperture—the same as in the existing model.
The lens is listed on Amazon USA for $130, and for €131. 50 in some parts of Europe. It is listed as unavailable in the UK and no price is given. For more information, visit the Meike website.
