Meike’s 24mm F1.4 ‘Mix,’ a wide-angle full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z, Sony E and L mount that it showed off earlier this year, is now available. While there isn’t a ton of information available about the lens, the company says it’s made for “creators who see in full frame.”
According to the company’s spec sheet, the lens is made of 15 elements in 12 groups, though it doesn’t mention what kind of special glasses (if any) are used in its optical formula. According to the company’s Instagram, its aperture has 11 blades and a minimum focus distance of 0.28m (11″).

It has a stepper motor for autofocus, and a switch on the lens barrel for quickly switching between auto and manual focus modes. Just above that is a customizable button, and rounding out its physical design is an aperture ring, though it’s unclear whether it has clicked delinations or not.
The lens can accept 72mm filters, and the E-mount version weighs 556g (19.6oz).
It costs $589, and the E and Z-mount versions are available now on Meike’s site. The company says you’ll be able to order the L mount version on August 20th.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
