Overview

The Meike 85mm F1.4 AF STM is a full-frame portrait lens designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its optical formula consists of 13 elements arranged in 8 groups, incorporating 4 extra-low dispersion elements and 2 high refractive index elements to suppress chromatic aberration and maintain sharpness across the frame. Multi-layer coatings help reduce flare and ghosting, while the wide F1.4 maximum aperture enables beautifully smooth background separation that portrait photographers rely on, even in challenging low-light conditions.

Autofocus is handled by a stepping motor (STM) that aims to deliver quiet, smooth focusing suitable for both photo and video work. The lens covers both full-frame and APS-C Sony bodies, giving it broad compatibility across the E-mount ecosystem. A practical USB Type-C port on the lens barrel allows users to apply firmware updates directly from Meike's website, addressing autofocus refinements as they become available. With a 77mm filter thread and a minimum focusing distance of 0.98 meters, this lens positions itself as an affordable alternative for photographers who want classic 85mm portraiture without the premium price tag.
