Meike just released the Mix 24mm f/1.4, a fast autofocus prime for full-frame mirrorless cameras, available in Sony E, Leica/Panasonic/Sigma L, and Nikon Z mounts. It’s built around an optical design of 15 elements in 12 groups with a nine-bladed diaphragm, giving it both sharp detail and smooth bokeh potential. The lens focuses as close as 0.28 meters, offering a maximum magnification of 0.1x, and with its bright aperture and wide field of view, it should be a good fit for landscapes, street photography, environmental portraits, travel shots, and even night sky work.

Physically, the Mix 24mm f/1.4 is fairly compact considering its specs. The E-mount version measures 107mm long and weighs 556g, the L-mount version is slightly shorter and lighter at 105mm and 550g, and the Z-mount version is the biggest of the three at 109mm and 560g. All versions have a 72mm filter thread, a large textured focus ring, and an aperture control ring, handy for photographers and especially useful for video shooters who want smooth manual exposure changes. The design also uses internal focusing, so the lens doesn’t extend when focusing, making it more stable on gimbals or when using filters.

Meike says the lens delivers sharpness from edge to edge and smooth background blur when shot wide open, while the metal exterior gives it a solid, durable feel. The new lens is available for $589 across all three mounts.
