Meike 50mm F1.8
The Meike 50mm f/1.8 lens for L-mount stands out with its fast STM autofocus, weather-sealed construction, and electronic aperture control, delivering a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture at a 50mm focal length. Its optical formula of 11 elements in 7 groups, including an ED element, minimizes chromatic aberrations, and the 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth bokeh for subject isolation. This lens is best suited for portrait shooters on Panasonic or Sigma L-mount cameras who require reliable autofocus and shallow depth of field in all conditions.
