Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX
Days after the release of the Meike 35mm F1.8 Pro AF, the company released another brand new fast fullframe lens. The new Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX is a full-frame autofocus lens available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L mount cameras, priced at $589 on the Meike Global Official website. It features a 72mm filter thread and an optical design of 15 elements arranged in 12 groups. External controls consists of focus ring, aperture ring, AF/MF switch and programmable focus hold button. A 24mm f1.4 lens is ideal for landscapes, environmental portraits, astrophotography, and low-light shooting where both a wide field of view and a bright aperture are beneficial.

For Sony E-mount users, there’s the excellent Sony FE 24mm F1.4 GM priced at $1,398 — more than double the cost of the Meike. A more budget-friendly alternative is the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art ($879), which offers strong performance at a lower price.

Nikon currently doesn’t offer a 24mm F1.4 for the Z-mount, but the Nikkor Z 24mm F1.8 S is less than one stop slower than the Meike and still comes in at $1,096.
For L-mount shooters, the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art is also available for $879, matching the E-mount pricing, along with the Panasonic S 24mm F1.8, which is slightly slower but sells for the same $879.
