Almost two weeks ago, Meike released the 85mm. autofocus medium telephoto lens compatible for Canon EF, Nikon F, and Sony E-mount. Today, they’ve just announced yet another lens specifically for Sony E-mount. Filling the gaps in their line of E-mount compatible lenses, the new 50mm. f/1.7 full-frame manual focus lens is now available for Sony photographers.
The new lens is made of brushed metal and has an aperture range between f/1.7-f/22. Since it’s manual focus, it looks more like an old film camera lens than a regular Sony E-mount version. It features an aperture adjustment ring as well as a manual focus ring. Its bayonet mount is also bare since it doesn’t have any electronic contacts for autofocus. The entire lens construction is composed of 6 elements in 5 groups, protected with multi-coating to minimize glare and ghosting.
