Tamron sp 85mm f 1 8 di vc usd vs meike 85mm f 1 8 se mark ii?

Both are 85mm f/1.8 autofocus portrait lenses for full frame, and they frame and blur the background the same way. The difference is mostly mount and stabilisation.

The Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 Di VC USD is the one to pick if you shoot Canon EF or Nikon F. It's stabilised, which helps when you're shooting handheld in dim light. The Meike 85mm f/1.8 SE Mark II has no stabilisation, but it's the budget option, and it's the only one of the two made for mirrorless bodies: Sony E, Nikon Z, and L-Mount.

If you're unsure what an 85mm does for portraits, the portraits guide explains the framing and working distance.
