Meike 12mm f/2.8 Lens for Fuji X Mount Cameras

Meike 12mm f/2.8 Lens for Fuji X Mount Cameras is one of the most affordable ultra wide angle lenses for Fujifilm mirorrless cameras. The lens features bright f/2.8 aperture to suit working in low light conditions. Individual lens elements feature a multi-layer nano coating to control surface reflections, flare, and ghosting in order to realize a high degree of contrast and color accuracy, even when working in bright and backlit conditions. Additionally, the lens sports a manual focus design along with minimum focusing distance of 3.94″ / 10 cm for working with close-up subjects. As a creative tool, it is hard to fault at the price.

Meike MK-12mm f/2.8 Lens for Fujifilm X Mount Cameras is a fully manual lens with aperture control on the lens and manual focusing ring. The lens feels very solid and sturdy. The frosted metal construction makes it resistant to dust, and steam while the multi-layer nano coating helps overcome the problem of flare or fuzzy light.

A well engineered, metal bodied construction gives a good impression of the lens from the start. At 360g, it is solid but not heavy in use. The front element is well protected by the well-made bayonet lens hood. The hood has a securing catch so it does not become rotated or detached during use. There is a 72mm filter thread for attaching UV, CPL or ND filters. The diaphragm has 9 blades and the Meike claims that this offers superior bokeh effects.

Sharpness is a surprise strength of the design, when stopped down. We start off centrally with just a fair standard of sharpness, from f/2.8 to f/4.8. But at f/5.6 this rises to excellent and becomes outstanding at f/8 and f/11. f/16 is excellent and results are still good at f/22. The lens controls chromatic aberrations very good. Chromatic aberrations can be seen at the corners of the image in particular, but at the edges control is still very good. There is some visible light fall off at f/2.8 but it is quite low.

Overall, the performance of the lens is excellent for this price point. Meike MK-12mm UWA lens has to be seen as good value, a relatively inexpensive way to acquire a wide angle lens that is capable of impressive results.
