What is the meike 85mm f 1 8 se mark ii good for?

The Meike 85mm f/1.8 SE Mark II is a budget autofocus portrait lens for full frame cameras. On full frame it frames as a true 85mm, and f/1.8 gives the soft backgrounds and comfortable working distance that the portraits guide recommends for this focal length.

It's sold for Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount, Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. It isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when shooting handheld. On APS-C it frames like about 128mm on Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount or Nikon F, which makes it a tight headshot lens there.

If you're after a cheap way into portraits, this is a sensible choice. For the wider picture of where it fits, see your first lenses.
