Is the meike 85mm f 1 8 stm good in low light?

Yes, the Meike 85mm f/1.8 STM is a good choice for low light. At f/1.8 it gathers far more light than any kit zoom, which is what matters indoors or after dark. That's the main reason I'd recommend a fast prime for this kind of shooting.

It isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when the light drops. It's made for full frame, and that's where low light and shallow depth of field pay off, as sensor sizes explains.

Good full-frame bodies to pair it with from its list include the Sony a7 III, the Nikon Z6 II and the Sony a7 IV.
