A fast aperture lens designed for Sony, Fujifilm, and Nikon mounts provides an 87mm equivalent field of view.
Meike has expanded its Mix series with a 58mm f/1.2 portrait prime for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Priced at $449, the lens is available for Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Nikon Z mounts. Due to the 1.5x crop factor, the lens offers an angle of view comparable to an 85mm full-frame prime. The optical construction features 14 elements in 10 groups alongside an 11-bladed aperture diaphragm. The lens supports in-camera eye and face detection autofocus and has a minimum focus distance of 0.62 meters. Measuring 90 millimeters long with a 62mm filter thread, the unit weighs between 450 and 455 grams depending on the mount. To match various camera bodies, Meike is offering the lens in black, silver, white, and a white-and-black combination. It enters the market alongside competitors like the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 and the Viltrox 56mm f/1.2 Pro.
The f/1.2 aperture provides APS-C shooters with a high-speed portrait option that achieves full-frame style depth of field at a competitive price point. Its compatibility with modern eye-detect autofocus systems makes it a viable tool for professional portrait and event workflows.
