Is the meike 85mm f 1 8 stm good on aps c?

It works on APS-C, but it's a long lens there. This is a full-frame lens, so on an APS-C body like the Sony a6400 or Fujifilm X-T30 it frames like 128mm. Its f/1.8 gives about the background blur of f/2.7 on full frame, so you still get soft backgrounds. You'll need room to step back, though, and it can feel cramped indoors.

If you shoot portraits on APS-C, I'd look at a shorter lens first. The Meike 55mm f/1.4 STM is made for APS-C and plays the same portrait role. For how the numbers work across sensor sizes, see the focal length converter. For more on lens choice, check the portraits guide.
