I found on ebay Meking Manual Macro Lens 62mm 2:1 Prime Lens For Canon EOS EF Mount.

This lens doesn't exist in www.dpreview,com

Does anybody have this lens and can share his/her experience with this lens ?

Looks like it may be a rebranding or even copy of the Laowa 2:1 macro:

I can't say what quality the Meking one is (and looking on ebay there seem to be several "copies" of the lens now with different branding) but the original Laowa/Venus lens is quite well regarded,  I don't own one, but know a few who do and they like the range it gives them.  It's manual only, but sharp enough.  It does seem to have a signature warm colour cast in many images, but most either don't notice or don't mind; and the colour can be tweaked in post anyway.
