I give a hands on review of the Meike 85mm f2.8 Macro Lens. This is a full manual lens that is affordable with a $299.99 USD price tag and is a good combo for macro and portrait photography. It is very well built, no weather sealing, but I would definitely say its worth adding to the camera bag if you dont mind figuring our your settings to get the proper exposure. This is available in 5 mounts, only two have shipped right now. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji and Micro Four Thirds.

![!!!The Best Macro Lens in the WORLD!!! Sony 90mm f2.8 G Lens for VIDEO & PHOTO [REVIEW]](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Sh_UDd7inKY/0.jpg "!!!The Best Macro Lens in the WORLD!!! Sony 90mm f2.8 G Lens for VIDEO & PHOTO [REVIEW]")
bought a mint condition canon 100mm macro L for 500 USD and it is fantastic. here in Singapore many canon users are switching and lots of canon second hand lenes are in the market. i m trying to buy as much as i can
I know someone said below Tokina has a few options, but this seems legit man. 300 bucks def isn’t bad
Nice review Eric! Good to see photographers use and review lens options that are not brand specific. As for the lens not being autofocus, manual lenses have their place and I could see thia lens being used for both stills and video. Plus macro aspect adds value to get more detail shots.
Too much money for what it is. An autofocus Tokina 100mm 2.8 is $320 and an autofocus Tamron 90mm 2.8 is 300. Terrible deal this Meike.
Just picked up a Sigma 105 2.8 Macro on ebay for $175, so excited to jump into macro
I was made aware the stock is still limited right now, but will update on here with more information.
