1:1 macro on APS-C

The Meike 60mm f/2.8 is a manual macro lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It focuses all the way to 1:1, so the subject is projected onto the sensor at life size — insects, flowers, textures or product details fill the frame.

Optics and aperture

The 11-element, 8-group design holds sharpness even at the closest distances. Nine diaphragm blades render soft defocus, and the f/2.8 to f/22 range lets you gain depth of field in macro, which at 1:1 is always very shallow.

Build and handling

Focus and aperture are set by hand, which in macro is an advantage: you focus by moving the whole camera rather than turning a ring. Minimum focusing distance is 17.5 cm, the filter thread is 49 mm and the lens weighs about 300 g.
