Meike 35mm f/1.8 PRO Z-mount for Nikon | Does my real-world test reveal its flaws? | First Look

Buying a new lens to try is easier said than done. So many reviews and opinions to wade through, after a while one just resigns oneself to picking one and going with it. I prefer to take my time, do my research and then after I make my pick, I do not second-guess my decision - that is a waste of time and an exercise in futility. My pick for this focal length is the Meike 35mm f/1.8 PRO lens for the Nikon Z-mount. I was very pleased with the sister lens, the Meike 55mm f/1.8 PRO that I decided that, for my use case and expertise tis would be a great value. Speaking of value - I did not spend any cash on this lens; I got it with my American Express Membership Rewards points! 😉 In this video I comment on the many shots that I took wile in the Mercer Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. I focused on shooting mainly at f/1.8and I did not retouch any of the photos, expect one of a monarch butterfly that I especially liked. So, check out what this great 35mm lens can do. Suffice it to say that so far I am very pleased. #meike #35mm #35mmphotography #nikon #nikonphotography #nikonz6iii #z6iii #nikonmirrorless CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 03:11 Unboxing & comparison with the Meike 55mm f/1.8 PRO 08:54 Mercer Arboretum & Botanical Gardens | Test shots 18:27 Final remarks So, please do go ahead and enjoy the video and consider subscribing to the Channel.
