What Buyers Say

Meike MIX Series 85mm f/1.4 AF 85mm

88 out of 100 medium confidence 22 reviews

The Meike 55mm f/1.4 AF lens for APS-C Nikon Z cameras is a compact, fast-aperture portrait lens that delivers excellent sharpness and creamy bokeh at a very affordable price. Autofocus is quick and reliable, with good eye detection, and the lens handles well on smaller bodies like the Z30. Some users noted the minimum focus distance is a bit limiting and the build feels plasticky, but overall it offers outstanding value for money.

  • Creamy bokeh
  • Fast and reliable autofocus
  • Great value for money
  • Compact and lightweight
Cons
  • Plasticky build feel
