Judge the Product - Not the brand name,
To be honest, at first I thought that this could be junk. Many products without strong brand identities have fallen by the wayside in the photography world. Meike decided it would try three/four AF lenses for L mount. You could argue these are 10% worse than Lumix but they are in some cases more than 50% cheaper. Photographers and videographers are sick of being ripped off. I had a slight miscommunication with the company and they tried their absolute hardest to bridge the gap, they offered refunds, solutions with firmware. They are truly interested in moving the dial: solid, affordable lenses for the masses. This is what we all want. Of course, I want licensed products to do well but we cannot be in a situation where a lens system is twice the price of a premium camera because of brands. I was worried about autofocus, robustness and customer care. I need not have been. I sold my Panasonic kit lens because it did nothing well and replaced it with one Sigma Lens and the rest from the L mount range with Meike. So much effort goes into waryingness about Chinese goods (especially politically) but the goods are cheap, well made, the customer service is great, the companies bend over backwards to help consumers. This is the future of photography. Don't get me wrong, a Sigma 1.4 Aperture AF DGDN will be the best quality kit you can get, but I do believe with some confidence and if consumers don't judge a book by its cover, brands like Meike can raise their game.
