Meike 85mm F1.8 SE Mark II Full Frame Auto Focus STM Lens, Sony E mount
The cheapest full-frame 85mm with autofocus for Sony E mount. Reviewers found the center very sharp at f/1.8 on a Sony a7CR, with single-shot AF that is quiet and accurate and continuous AF that locks faster than the price suggests. It focuses to 0.65 m, closer than the original SE's 0.85 m, and has 11 aperture blades for round highlights.

Caveats
- Soft with visible color fringing at f/1.8 near the close-focus limit; it cleans up by f/4.
- Visible focus breathing, so racking focus in video shows the frame change.
- Plastic barrel, no aperture ring, no focus-hold button, and only a mount gasket for sealing.
- One lab test measured small direction-dependent focus errors; stop down a little for critical work.
- Flares broadly into strong light; use the included hood.
- Returns go back to China within 7 days, so test it as soon as it arrives.
