Meike's latest APS-C lens, officially called the 56mm f/1.7 Air, was first teased earlier this year at the CP+ show in Japan after months of leaks. Now it’s finally here and, at just $159 (£119 / AU$220), it’s clearly aimed at photographers and content creators who want lightweight, affordable glass for portraits and everyday shooting.
Chinese lens makers have been getting increasingly aggressive lately, with Meike among those leading the charge.
