Review: Meike 85mm f/1.8 STM full-frame mirrorless lens for Nikon Z-mount ($199) by John Hall: I have several Meike lenses and I like them. They are inexpensive and are made with excellent quality. My first Meike lens was an 85mm f2.8 Macro 1.5:1 that is F mount and manual focus. I have really liked that lens and hoped this one would give me the same results but with Z mount. I still shoot some F mount but have mostly migrated to Z mount. This 85mm is appealing on several fronts. It is full frame. It is auto focus. It is affordable. I expected it to work well based on my experience with my other Meike lenses. When the package was dropped off I noticed that the lens is well padded with foam inside the box. You get a lens hood and two caps. The front cap is one of the pinch mount ones, not the cookie cutter cylinder you get with some lenses, and the rear cap is twist on, not slip on. The build quality is great as with all the Meike lenses I have seen. F1.8 is nice and fat, and the lens is surprising light for its size. There is a nice large focus ring near the front and a switch for AF/MF. You can turn the focus ring when it is in AF if you need to fine tune.
