About the Meike 50mm f/1.8
The Meike 50mm f/1.8 lens is sold by MEIKE, a company in Hong Kong.
Based in Hong Kong, it is a technology R&D enterprise integrating R&D, manufacturing and sales departments.
A manufacturer that has developed widely in dozens of countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and the Middle East, and has received high praise.
In addition to still shooting lenses, cinema lenses are also on sale, so they are attracting attention from video creators.
This lens has a 9-blade diaphragm with 11 elements in 7 groups, allowing for very rounded and smooth bokeh and background blur.
In addition, despite the weight being reduced to 382g, the impression is that the construction is solid.
Speaking of the 50mm f/1.8, NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8S. For example, the Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 is a good place to compare.
Especially Nikon is a high-quality series S-Line, so the price is a little higher.
Therefore if the Meike 50mm f/1.8 is up to the task, it's pretty promising.
Opening the Meike 50mm F1.8
This is the first time I have come face-to-face with MEIKE lenses.

It comes with lens caps (front and rear), lens hood, instructions and warranty card.
The instructions are not written in Japanese.
I don't think there's anything to know about AF lenses anymore, so I don't think there's any problem.
It is made of plastic, but you can tell by the touch that it is sturdy.
The weight is 382g, which is a weight that can be easily carried even for long shoots.
The focus ring is very nimble.
Even when shooting MF, I felt that it was easy to focus smoothly.
The mount is made of metal and is designed for peace of mind.
It has a red rubberized coating and looks very compatible with the Nikon series.
This lens is equipped with an AF and MF switch to switch between AF and MF.
This is a great feature for users who want to shoot MF.
Inexpensive lenses may not have a toggle switch, so it's a nice feature.

I tried installing it on Nikon Z6II.
My first impression when I put it on was "cool...".
Perhaps a robust form such as a full-size machine is more suitable than installation on an APS-C machine.
The lens hood is not a simple circle, but I think the fact that it is half-cut is the point that pushes the coolness.
