(Refurbished Excellent) Meike MK-35mm f/1.7 - E-mount (for Sony) Camera Lens

The Meike MK-35mm f/1.7 is an impressively versatile and compact manual prime lens designed specifically for Sony E-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. Offering a 52.5mm equivalent focal length, it provides a "natural" field of view that is highly sought after for street photography, portraits, and everyday snapshots.

Bright f/1.7 Aperture

The standout feature of this lens is its fast f/1.7 maximum aperture. This allows for exceptional performance in low-light conditions, enabling you to shoot handheld without excessive noise. It also grants superior control over depth of field, allowing you to isolate your subject with a soft, pleasing background blur (bokeh) that punches well above its price point.
