The MEIKE 25mm f/0.95 lens is a bright manual focus lens, with a built-in lens hood, 12 aperture blades, and covers the APS-C sensor size. The lens is available for Sony E-Mount (APS-C), Fujifilm X-Mount, Canon EF-M (EOS M), Nikon 1, and Micro Four Thirds lens mounts, as shown here. The Meike 25mm f/0.95 lens is available for £469 from Amazon.

Ahead of our review, we've taken a number of sample photos with the new lens, using an Olympus OM-D E-M5. The lens gives a 37.5mm / 40mm equivalent on APS-C, and a 50mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds cameras. Simply click "High-res" to view the full-size sample photos.

Hmm. Even at thumbnail size you can see the images are soft in the centre wide open. Critical sharpness looks like it doesn't come along until around f2.8 [and even then perhaps not optimal]. It's a shame - I would consider a lens like this for MFT, but if I compare it with my Panny 25mm, [wide open] at f1.4, it looks like chalk and cheese. A stop and a bit of extra light, stop and a bit of DoF control [perhaps the biggie for MFT users who like that sort of thing] is tempting, but not so much if the resultant images are this mushy.
