There are/were equally ridiculous translation errors to be seen in the Chinese border cities. Smile However, the "other" side is sometimes equally guilty of egregious translation mistakes. "Alien" however is a legit (if dated and seldom used) English term for a foreigner, last I checked - but the movie has killed this way of usage. Big Grin

P. S. The last sign (the one with the "Translate Server Error") actually says "Restaurant" (cāntīng). Smile

Re: the lens, I wonder how much this is going to cost. I probably wouldn't even try it but it may be an interesting alternative for those who can't or won't buy the Canon/Nikon 8-15mm fisheyes.


RE: Meike MK 6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye announced - toni-a - 10-01-2018

in my book, this lens or another fisheye is a must have, why not, it's dirt cheap and produces a very special effect, i n a wedding I barely take 5-10 pictures with a fisheye out of several hundreds, not a single time the couple wasn't impressed and asked for prints of fisheye pictures.


RE: Meike MK 6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye announced - Klaus - 10-01-2018

I'm slightly wondering what this lens is about. At 6mm it is probably a circular fisheye but what happens if you zoom out?
There's no middle ground between a circular fisheye and a full frame one really.
It feels unlikely that it is already a full-frame one at 11mm - the Canon 8-15mm f/4 is not for instance.


RE: Meike MK 6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye announced - Brightcolours - 10-02-2018

Not all fisheye optics work the same way. The Samyang 12mm f2.8 gives a different projection than "normal" 15/16mm FF fisheye lenses from other manufacturers, so it fills the frame at 12mm. I suspect this Meike does something similar at 11mm?


RE: Meike MK 6-11mm f/3.5 Fisheye announced - Brightcolours - 10-03-2018

Then again, the AOV table is a bit odd, in its numbers. If we only look at, and are to believe the, numbers for FF, the (whole) corners will be black at 11mm.

Klaus, there's only one way to find out. [Image: icon_deal.gif]
