Review VerdictThe Meike AF 85mm f/1.4 MIX II delivers surprisingly high results. In terms of resulution, it is tack-sharp up to the borders and that's straight from f/1.4. The corners are still very good at this setting. Stopping down to medium apertures results only in a marginal improvement simply because there isn't really much to improve on anyway. Lateral CAs are negligible, and axial CAs, while present, are fairly low for this type of lens. The bokeh is mostly smooth. A weakness is the focus shift when stopping down although that's only relevant at close focus distances. The flare resistance is typical for a medium-tele lens. The build quality is fine although professional users may desire a bit more here. The lens feels a bit plasticy and weather sealing is rather basic. On the positive side the extensive use of plastics also translates to a low weight. The AF is quite quick and virtually silent but don't expect it to be a speed demon. Overall, we've been quite impressed by the Meike AF 85mm f/1.4 MIX II and it is a value recommendation.

AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.

No plain adapter reaches infinity focus on: Sony E, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, L-Mount, Micro Four Thirds, Fujifilm G (GFX), Canon EF-M, Canon EF, Nikon F.
