Meike 85mm f/1.8 Full-Frame (Nikon F)

The MEKE 85mm f1.8, listed under the model name MK-85mm F1.8 Full Frame Automatic Lens, is the ninth entry in this guide. It is a fixed 85mm prime for Nikon F mount at £159.99, rated 4.2 out of 5 from 283 ratings. The product name calls it a lens for F mount DSLR cameras and then describes the bodies it names — D610, D750, D780, D810, D850, D3300, D3500, D5100, D5200, D5300, D7100, D7200 — as "APS C Bodies", which mixes full-frame and APS-C models in one list. A bullet goes further and calls the same Nikon F mount "fullframe mirrorless", a mount that the rest of the same bullet describes as belonging to DSLRs.

Aperture is where the sheet is least useful. It gives "Maximum Aperture: 1.8 f" and "Minimum Aperture: 1.8" — the same figure at both ends — so a buyer reading only the specs cannot tell what the lens stops down to; one reviewer writes that it runs from f1.8 to f22. Two further fields look like the wrong kind of data for a prime: a "Zoom Ratio" of 1:1 on a lens whose focal length is fixed at 85mm, and "Image Stabilization Type: Digital", which nothing else in the listing repeats. The construction is given as 6 groups and 11 elements with 9 diaphragm blades and a 67mm filter thread. The rating breakdown shown covers 100 of the 283 ratings, and 84 of those 100 are four or five stars. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and the customer reviews attached to it, not from any test of our own.
