[Recommended Points / Features]
- Overwhelming field of view unique to ultra-wide and fisheye lenses: Diagonal angle of approximately 190° (APS-C equivalent) and about 146.4° for MFT (Micro Four Thirds). This allows you to capture the “atmosphere of the scene” with immersive visual expression simply by taking the shot.
- Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture: Despite being a fisheye lens, its large f/2.8 aperture performs well in low-light situations, allowing you to capture subjects boldly while maintaining expansive compositions.
- Minimum focusing distance of approximately 0.15 m (15 cm): You can get very close to subjects, enabling impactful shots that take advantage of close-up effects.
- Sturdy metal body & lightweight design (approx. 260 g): Highly portable, suitable for handheld snapshots or travel. Its light weight also ensures good balance when mounted on a camera.
- Fully manual focus design: By controlling the focus ring and aperture ring manually, photographers can directly translate their creative intentions into the image. You can fully exploit the unique distortions and wide-angle effects of a fisheye lens.
- Optical construction: With a configuration of 11 elements in 9 groups, the lens offers sufficient optical design for high-quality rendering.
- Creative expression unique to fisheye lenses: Unlike standard wide-angle lenses, this lens allows images to “curve” dramatically toward the edges. Ideal for landscapes, architecture, action, indoor photography, and video, delivering a bold, creative perspective. Reviews often highlight the surprise at “just how wide it can capture!”
[Recommended Usage / Scenes]
- Capturing cityscapes and architecture while traveling: Even narrow alleys or indoor spaces can be fully included in the frame, dramatically enhancing the sense of presence.
- YouTube, vlogs, or handheld shooting: Despite being manual, its compact and lightweight design pairs perfectly with mirrorless cameras (e.g., Panasonic LUMIX GH3/GH4/GH5/GH6/GH7) for unique fisheye effects.
- Action, outdoor activities, skate parks, or cycling: Convey the feeling that “the world is this wide,” even in dynamic scenes.
- Indoor photography, architecture, and interior shots: Create a sense of spaciousness and dramatic compositions even in confined spaces.
- Creative photography and artistic expression: Achieve unique distortions, tilts, and stretched edges that cannot be produced with standard lenses, giving your images a distinctive, individual look.
[Summary]
The Meike 7.5mm f/2.8 Ultra-Wide Fisheye Lens (MFT Mount) offers an overwhelming field of view and creative expression that conventional wide-angle lenses cannot achieve.
