Meike 85mm f 1 8 se mark ii vs 7artisans af 85mm f 1 8?

On paper these two are almost twins. Both are 85mm f/1.8 autofocus primes for full frame, neither has stabilisation, and both frame and blur the same way on each sensor size.

The difference is mounts. The Meike 85mm f/1.8 SE Mark II also fits Canon EF and Nikon F, so it's the pick if you shoot an older Canon or Nikon DSLR. If you're on Sony E, Nikon Z or L-Mount, the 7Artisans AF 85mm f/1.8 covers you just as well.

I don't have a sharpness or handling verdict to separate them, so check how each one feels in your hands before you buy. For why an 85mm suits portraits in the first place, see the portraits guide.
