I literally ordered a used 56 1.2 R 25 minutes ago and then I see this video. Guess we’ll see if it gets sent back😂
Been waiting for a review on this lens, thanks for the video! This looks like an awesome lens, especially for the price... would really appreciate seeing a comparison with the Fuji or Sigma 56 though

Hey Andrei, what would be these best in this focal length? Sigma 56, Viltrox 56 or this one?
Wow, wonderful, I would to grab one for my XT 30 camera.

compared to viltrox 56mm f1.4 second hand which is the same price as meike 55mm on the market right now, which do you think is worth buying more ? in terms of image quality and autofocus ?

Does it have problems with the IBIS? I had some third party AF lenses that would cause the IBIS to not properly work (jitters a lot).

@@AndreiDimaReviews I had the viltrox 23mm f1.4 that didn't really work that well with the IBIS and it's more evident in video, not until they patched it later on with a firmware update. Though it did take some time for it to be fixed.

This or ttartisan 35mm 1.8 AF? My goal is taking some pictures of some basketball games and also mainly street photography, is 35 better or worse than 55mm on a cropped sensor, what do you think ?😊

You'll probably enjoy the meike 55 as you will probably be further away from the players than you think. Sports and event photography are usually done with longer telephoto lenses.

They are both good lenses but I would go with the Meike because it has an aperture ring and it is brighter.
seen it suitable for photograph more than videos?

today i got my third purchase of Meike 55mm f1.4 fuji lens. Definitely meike has issue with aperture ring. This time when twisting aperture ring, I got double f2.8, and a missing f11. f1.4 / f1.6 / f1.8 / f2.0 / f2.2 / f2.5 / f2.8 / F2.8 (again) f3.2 / f3.6 / f4.0 / f4.5 / f5.0 / f5.6 / f6.4 / f7.1 / f8.0 / f9.0 / f10 / F11 (missing) f13 / f14 / f16 Start from the second F2.8, the ring is not alight anymore with aperture data in screen.
