Meike 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens Review

Meike 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Verdict

The Meike 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye lens is an inexpensive entry into fisheye photography. It is also wider than most fisheye lenses. The biggest drawbacks are the poorly fitting lens hood and the real difficulty in focusing manually.

However, when we nail the focus, the resulting images are capable of an impressively high level of sharpness with an almost complete resistance to flare. As a creative tool, it is hard to fault at the price.
