Meike 35mm f/0.95 Review

The Meike 35mm f/0.95 is an ultra-fast manual focus prime lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras, offering a 70mm full-frame equivalent focal length. At $330, it brings a rare f/0.95 aperture to the MFT system at a budget price point, making it an accessible option for creators chasing shallow depth of field and low-light performance. The wide aperture enables strong subject separation and smooth bokeh, though manual focus and potential optical quirks at wide apertures are typical tradeoffs in this price tier. This lens fits into the growing category of affordable third-party glass aimed at video shooters and portrait photographers working on smaller sensor systems.
