Read our notes on general
The Meike AF 24mm f/1.4 MIX is an impressive fast wide-angle prime that delivers excellent optical performance at a budget price of $589. Its exceptional longitudinal chromatic aberration control, outstanding flare resistance, and sharp rendering across the frame make it optically competitive with lenses costing three times as much, though some lateral CA in the corners and focus breathing limit its appeal for videographers. The solid build, smooth focusing, and well-damped aperture ring make it an excellent value for landscape, astrophotography, and general wide-angle work.
