Meike 85mm F1.8 SE Mark II Full Frame Auto Focus STM Lens, Nikon Z mount
The Nikon Z version of Meike's budget 85mm. A lab test on a Z8 and Z9 measured center resolution of 64.8 lp/mm at f/1.8 and timed focus from 0.8 m to infinity at 0.42 s, faster than a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 in the same test. Lateral color fringing was among the lowest the tester had seen.

Caveats
- Focus landed slightly off depending on travel direction in one lab test; stopping down hides it.
- Noticeable vignetting at f/1.8 that needs a profile correction.
- Focus shifts a few millimeters as you stop down, so focus at the shooting aperture for close work.
- Visible focus breathing in video.
- Manual focus needs several turns of the ring, which some users dislike.
- Only a mount gasket for sealing; not a lens for rain.
