Best camera for the meike 85mm f 1 4 ii?

The Meike 85mm f/1.4 II is a full-frame lens, so I'd pair it with a full-frame body. On APS-C it frames like about 128mm, which is much tighter than most people want for portraits.

Here are three full-frame bodies from its list that I'd happily use with it:

• Sony a7 III: my pick for most people. It's a well-rounded body that suits this lens well.
• Nikon Z6 II: the best choice if you're already in the Nikon Z system.
• Panasonic Lumix S5 II: a good fit if you shoot L-Mount.

If you're still deciding what to shoot with an 85mm, the Portraits page explains how focal length and aperture change the look.
