Meike 7.5mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon Z-mount review by Bill Hall (see his previous reviews and additional lens information): Meike, known for its budget-conscious quality products, is now producing this fast manual focus ultra wide angle fisheye lens for the Nikon Z-Mount. It has 9 groups and 11 elements, f/2.8 – f/16, a minimum focus distance of 0.15m / 6”, a field of view of 190 degrees, and sells for $150 on Amazon. This is a very compact lens, and its size fits very well with the size of the Nikon Z50. It’s about the size of the Nikkor 16-50mm kit lens. The combination is not much bigger than a pocket camera. And it only weighs about 730g / 1.6lb. The all-metal construction promises a long life and durability. The aperture and focus dials operate very smoothly, but also stay in place when you move your hand away. The mount is all metal and mounts to the camera securely with no movement or looseness. It has a built-in lens hood, which is not unusual for an ultra-wide lens. What comes in the box? The lens, front, and rear lens caps, and a warranty card. What is this lens useful for? Since it has a 190-degree angle of view, it’s useful for situations where you want to include as much as you can in a single frame, or when you’re shooting in a tight space. It’s useful in architecture and landscape photography. Related to this would be real estate photography. Portrait...
