Description

Meike 85mm f/1.8 Performance AF noisy and slow Works with : Canon EOS EF mount cameras, such as 1D 5D 5D3 5D4 7D Mark II 70D 80D 800D 1000D 1100D 600D 60D 450D 550D Rebel T7i T6i T6s T6 T5i T5 T4i T3i SL2 Digital SLR Camera etc Sharpness: very good level at f/1.8 and f/2.8, rising to excellent from f/4 to f/8. Sharpness is still very good at f/11 and f/16, only falling off to fair levels at f/22. Edge sharpness is quite poor at f/1.8, fair at f/2.8 but then perks up to being very good at f/4 and excellent at f/5.6 to f/8. It is still very good at f/11 and f/16, falling off to being only fair at f/22. CA (Chromatic Aberration) is remarkably well controlled throughout the aperture range. It is very unlikely that CA will be seen as a problem and if further correction is ever needed we can of course look to software solutions. Vignetting at open aperture is quite obvious at -1.5 stops, although this does have a useful side effect in that corners of an image are often darkened inpost processing to concentrate our eyes on the centre of the image. Here we have a natural effect, more often seen in wide angle designs. At f/2.8 darkening has reduced to around two thirds of a stop and this has reduced to about one third of a stop by f/4. It doesn't really get any better than this, the mild -0.3 stop vignetting continuing right through the aperture range. The lens shows +0.63% pincushion distortion, which again is an excellent performance. Further correction could be made in software if the need arose, but for most purposes this would not be necessary. Performance against the light is excellent as well, and flare was not observed in any of the conditions found throughout the test period. Yeah, compatible with M50, but when you change the lens, first install the original Canon lens on the camera, take off the camera when the lens is rotated out (the lens lock is opened), and then replace the adapter ring and the Meike 85mm f/1.8 ef lens. It means that you need to use the original Canon lens to unlock, turn off the machine directly after unlocking, and then install the adapter ring and the Meike 85mm f1.8 EF lens. 85mm can be used on portraits, macro and even landscapes.

I bought this lens for my crop sensor Canon DSLR. Since it's a crop sensor camera, this 85mm lens equates to about a 135mm lens. I have a 50mm f1.8 lens which equates to about an 80mm lens, so I bought this one for something a bit longer. I didn't want to spend a lot on it since I won't use it that much, but it would be nice to have in the kit with such a low f-stop when needed. For the money, literally hundreds less than name brand 85mm lenses, this lens is a keeper. I have a couple minor complaints, but then again, I wasn't expecting it to be perfect for the price, and it worked out better that I ever expected. All the attached photos were taken the day I got the lens. They were all shot between about 11pm and 11:30pm, at ISO 400 or 1600, f1.8, handheld, between 1/25 and 1/125 of a second. First off, this lens does not have image stabilization. So, since it acts like a mid-range telephoto lens, shooting skill or use of a mono or tripod may be needed at slower shutter speeds to minimize blur. Second, the autofocus is loud. Not real loud, but definitely more noisy than any Canon or Sigma lens I own. Noticeably louder. If using this lens shooting a wedding, it would be heard, unlike my Canon or Sigma lenses. Third, at f1.8, with high contract objects, like light bulbs against a night sky, or tree leaves against a bright sky, there is noticeable purple fringing. At f2.0, it's barely perceptible, and at f2.8 and above, it's gone. This purple fringing is not uncommon for many lenses when they are used wide open. It is also very fixable in photo editing programs. Most have a "de-fringe" kind of setting that when checked, removed it. All the light bulbs in the attached photos had some purple fringing, but my software removed it with just the click of a checkbox in the program. The images are a bit soft wide open at f1.8 (not a bad thing actually), noticeably improved at f2.0, and at f2.8, I'd rate it excellent for sharpness. At f4.0 to f11, the photos are stunning. A bit of chromatic aberration starts to be noticeable if you look for it, but it won't jump out at you. At f16 and f22, it is more notable, but again, it's not that uncommon for many lenses at those really small apertures. I didn't include any daytime shots, because if you like the night shots I uploaded at f1.8, you're going to love your photos in daylight. The lens seems solidly built. It is a plastic lens rather than metal, so it's not one you would want to treat poorly, but the mount is a metal ring and connects solidly. I don't know what the longevity will be. At this price, some corners obviously need to be cut. Time will tell, and I'll update if there is something new to report. I have no idea how photos from this lens would look on a full frame sensor camera, but on my crop sensor, they're better and more than I was expecting for the price. For me, it's a worthwhile addition to my kit at this price, for the occasional times I need this focal length. ... show more

    • An excellent lens for students and amateurs
Review Image by Garandguy76
As long as you understand what you're buying, when you buy this lens, you'll love it. I consider myself to be an amateur, with a few years of Photography under my belt. I've never owned an 85mm lens, have read that they're great for portraits, and can be expensive. I decided, for the price, this would be a great way to get into more portraits and storytelling style photos. This is an excellent teaching lens, it's forgiving, and doesn't include the Image Stabilization of your more expensive lenses, so it is recommended that you use a tripod, or develop solid posture with your camera. A nice feature is the Auto Focus, as well as the manual focus. This lens doesn't zoom, it's fixed at 85mm, so you will have to work to get your photos just the way you want them, but at this price point, it's certainly worth it. I'm also learning how to improve my manual focus, so again, an excellent teaching lens. You really need to plan your shots to some degree to benefit from any 85mm lens, so please try to remember, this is more than a "point and shoot" lens. The auto focus is not silent, especially if you're reading reviews from Photogs who use $800+ lenses, to them, it sounds like a 747 parking next to their bed at midnight. Trust me, it's not that loud, nowhere close to it. I've enclosed my most recent work, a panoramic consisting of 3 photos, all taken with this lens, digitally merged. If you look carefully at the photo, you'll hear the noise the lens made when I took the pictures...... The lens comes with the ability to update the firmware, but I have yet to figure out the procedure. The included documentation doesn't make it easy to find. A simple and easy to understand solution needs to be provided by the manufacturer, soon. Overall, I'm very happy with this lens, the money I've saved, and the photos I've taken. Again, as long as you understand what you're buying, vs what your expectations are, your experience with this lens should be a great one. ... show more

    • Loud, but nott a deal breaker.
I have only just recived this lense today, and it's 9° here in Minnesota, so I haven't really stepped out with this yet. I did, however, take quite a few shots in the house tonight. I will update with some images at a later date. First, I want to address the auto focus noise/ speed. It is a bit noisy, but I shoot theater productions, and in most cases, I would be comfortable shooting with this lense. It is a gentle noise. Not an aggressive grinding as I was led to believe by other comments. I have had point and shoot cameras in the past that have been equally as noisy. It is a little slow to find focus, but not terrible. I got several great shots of my cats who were moving around quite a bit. One of them is a black cat, and rather hard to photograph due to contrast issues. Second, I tried out a canon professional level 85mm lens a week ago and was cooing over the sharpness and Bokeh, and this 179.00 lens really impressed me. It was obviously not to the same caliber, but it is very nice! I'm looking forward to getting out and shooting with this. I also just bought a beautiful Tamron 35mm lense, and I'm looking forward to testing both. For reference, for those wondering about the auto focus working, as I was. I have 2 Canon 2000D/T7 bodies, and auto focus works just fine. They are inexpensive bodies, but turn great quality images with good lenses, and this has not shown to be an excaption. I'll update soon. ... show more

    • Excellent Portrait Lens
This 85mm lens is an excellent performer for portrait photography. Glass provides sharp and detailed photos that rival more expensive lenses. Used on a EOS Canon EF mount full frame DSLR, lens has a solid feel while not being bulky or heavy. Focus ring is large enough to manipulate fine-tuned focusing before shooting. Produces a lovely bokeh for close portraits at f2.8. Weakest point for this lens is the auto focus, which tends to do a lot of breathing before focusing. Motor is quite noisy. Considering the price however, this lens is a great value. This is my first Meike product purchase and I would highly recommend it. ... show more

    • Did not come with accessories pictured.
The lens itself is fine, it is kinda loud and slow for auto focus but the sharpness and quality is great. The only thing that sucks is the hood that was supposed to come with the lens did not. I contacted customer service and while they were more than glad to send out another hood for the lens it’s coming from China and the tracking is from a company I don’t recognize and it’s supposed to be 18 days from today before it even get to the post office, and it’s been some days already. I’m not sure if that’s any post office or my local post office. It took 2 days to get the lens and now I’ll be waiting over a month for the hood that was supposed to come with it. ... show more

    • Impressive Value: A Review of the f/1.8 Telephoto Lens for Canon EOS
Review Image by C
When I decided to try a f/1.8 telephoto lens for my Canon EOS EF camera, I had some reservations. Its price was attractive, and I always look for gear that balances performance and economy. After using it in several sessions, I can confirm that this lens has surprised me. Design and Build As soon as I took it out of the box, the lens felt solid. Its weight and structure inspire confidence. The manual focus ring moves smoothly, making precise adjustments easier, especially in controlled environments. Although it weighs a bit more than I expected, it was never uncomfortable to use. Optical Performance The main attraction of this lens is its f/1.8 aperture, and it certainly delivers. I mainly used it for portraits, and the background blur (bokeh) it produces is stunning. Subjects truly stand out, and the backgrounds are beautifully blurred. In low-light conditions, it also performs quite well, allowing me to work without relying too much on high ISO. Value for Money Where this lens excels is in its value for money. For the price, it offers more than I expected. It's an ideal option for those just starting out in photography or looking for a secondary lens without breaking the bank. Final Verdict This f/1.8 telephoto lens is a reliable option for those looking for professional results without a hefty price tag. Its optical performance and affordable price make it a dependable tool for portraits and creative photography. If you're considering a lens of this type, I’d say it's worth it. ... show more

    • Great lens, great price, with one funny quirk.
An amazing lens. Perfect for portraits. I have only one complaint. For some reason on my Canon 5D Classic it draws battery power even after the camera is off. (?!?!?!?). With the camera off, the activity light blocks until the battery dies. HOWEVER, this does not happen to any other of my EOS cameras. I’ve four others, all ranging from the same age to very new. If I want to store the 5D and this lens, I just open the CF door and it stops. Very odd. But, otherwise, it’s an amazing lens, especially at this price point. It focuses quickly, make beautiful images, and is the perfect length a lot of photography. ... show more

    • Great for the price but has a few issues
First off, the issue: I have a lot of EF mount cameras and this lens' Auto-Focus only works on some. No idea why. It works fine on the older daily shooter Canon Rebel XSi (450D) and the ancient APC-C sensor EOS 20D but the full frame 5D or APC-C Rebel T3i only works in Manual focus mode. It was also only in Manual on the EOS film camera. You must place the camera's Auto-Focus mode into 'One Shot' mode. This makes sense since the autofocus is very slow and noisy. I prefer to use manual focus with it since it's faster and for a budget lens you would normally get at this price that is to be expected. The good/great: The images are excellent. The aperture at 1.8 has fantastic Bokeh and the focus ring moves easily but not so easy that you lose focus with a bump. I also like that you can crank the lens open to f/22 even though you really shouldn't push it past f/16. When compared directly to my prime FD 85mm f/1.8 S.S.C. I am pretty sure this does the same job on Digital as that lens, although I shoot the FD lens with an adapter to EF and that extra glass might interfere. This just means that this Meike lens performs on par with an expensive Canon lens in certain situations when used on a digital camera. When used on a camera that Auto-Focus worked it turned out good with crisp focus. In all, I would say this is an excellent fast lens for someone who wants to shoot portraits on a digital SLR camera and doesn't need a quick auto-focus. Probably the best deal on an 85mm f/1.8 that you are going to get. ... show more
