Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lens autofocus on Fujifilm X-mount cameras?
No, the Meike 8mm f/3.5 is a fully manual lens. You will need to manually adjust both focus and aperture using the rings on the lens barrel.
Does this fisheye lens produce a circular or full-frame image on APS-C Fujifilm bodies?
On Fujifilm X-mount APS-C sensors, this lens produces a full-frame fisheye image that fills the entire frame rather than a circular image with black borders.
How close can this lens focus to a subject?
The minimum focusing distance is 10 cm (roughly 4 inches), allowing you to get very close to subjects for exaggerated fisheye perspectives.
Is the lens compatible with filters?
Due to the bulbous front element typical of fisheye lenses, standard screw-on filters cannot be attached to the front of this lens.
How many aperture blades does this lens have?
The lens features 9 aperture blades, which contribute to the quality of out-of-focus rendering when shooting at wider apertures.
