Los materiales parecen buenos, hay poco plástico, pero es un poco extraño de ajustar.La imagen es básica , aunque si que es luminoso

When searching for a beginner astrophotography lens, I stumbled across this lens on a YouTube video. After much more research and comparison with other lenses, this was the one that stood out.-Solid metal body, rugged and durable.-Easy to use and smooth manual focus-Same if not better quality images than other lenses that cost nearly double the cost of this one used.Paired with a trusty A6000, this lens will allow you to take beautiful photos. This is not another cheapo plastic lens with slow clunky movement and focus. If you are looking for the best bang for your buck for astrophotography, this is it.

I’ve had this trouble with this companies lenses for a while. They focus past INFINITY and the aperture scale ring is a little bit off. That being said if you’re monitoring through the lens you’ll be OK and because this is such a super wide angle, it’s easier to focus. The focus peaking feature on the camera works very well with the lens. At 12 mm you’re going to get fringing around the edges of your image that’s just how it is. But the build quality seems pretty solid on the image sharpness is acceptable. Probably not the best lens elements because you do get some color fringing but at this price point it is definitely a worthwhile lens to add to your tool kit. I doubt I would shoot commercial with this lens but it’s fun to play with.The beauty of less than precise lenses is that you can experiment with some artistic effects. And there’s nothing more fun to play with then a wacky super wide angle lens.

The new Meike 12mm f/2 manual APS-C lens is a solid feeling lens with a clickless aperture. A metal lenss hood screws on the regular filter threads. It is nice to have an ultra wide lens with standard filter threads.Like all Meike lenses this one is very well constructed. This lens is all metal and the adjustments rings for both focus and aperture are very smooth and easy to use, thanks to them being of different widths and spaced well apart. I had no problems adjusting focus on this lens in the dark, and the ring stayed where I left it even as I repositioned then camera. There is no play or slop in the moveable parts.An excellent daytime landscape lens it also performs well at night for astro-landscape. Although with any lens this inexpensive you will need to stop down a couple stops to reduce the coma in the corners. The example photo shows how this lens works great at social media resolutions but it is not one I would use for large prints due to that slight edge distortion with stars.
