Weighing approximately just 369g yet offering high-definition imaging, accurate and efficient natural focusing, and an excellent minimum focusing distance of 0.65m, this new Meike 85mm f/1.8 Mark II could be a nice and affordable option to consider for your full-frame camera systems.
With its wide aperture of f/1.8, the lens should be able to capture some pretty nice photos and videos with smooth background blur and work decently well in dark environments. The lens should offer solid vignette control and purple fringing diffusion.
It will also feature an AF STM stepping motor and NanoDrive Auxiliary System, which will help it reduce camera shake and capture images with less noise.
The lens will also support high-resolution 8K, zero distortion, and zero breathing to support its video recording capabilities as well.
