Meike’s 25mm F1.8 manual lens for Nikon Z-mount costs only $75

14 Aug

It’s only been a few days since Meike introduced it’s 85mm F1.8 autofocus prime, but it’s already back with the announcement of another lens, a 25mm F1.8 manual focus prime for Nikon Z-mount cameras.

The lens is constructed of seven elements in five groups, has an aperture range of F1.8 through F16, features a minimum focusing distance of 25cm (9.8”) and uses a nine-blade aperture diaphragm.

The lens measures in at 61mm (2.4”) in diameter, 41mm (1.6”) long and weighs approximately 170g (6oz). Meike notes that the lens is entirely manual to the point that you’ll need to set your camera to release the shutter without a lens, as it won’t recognize a lens is attached.

Meike’s website makes mention of APS-C throughout the entire product page, but also shows the lens attached to the Nikon Z7 we have contacted Meike to confirm whether this lens is exclusively for APS-C or also full-frame

The lens is available now for just $ 75 on Meike’s website. It comes with the lens, front/rear caps, a carry pouch and a microfiber cleaning cloth.
