The Meike 85mm f\/1.8 AF STM is an interchangeable short telephoto prime for Leica L-mount cameras, made for portrait and event photography. Its 85mm view gives you tighter framing than a wider focal length, with room to work at a more comfortable distance from your subject. Autofocus is handy when people are moving or a moment is brief, so you don’t have to make every shot a manual-focus exercise. It suits portrait photographers who want a dedicated perspective, and event shooters looking to frame a speaker, guest or small group. This is a focused tool rather than an all-purpose walk-around lens: in a small room, you’ll need space to step back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaking the most of the framing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt an event, try framing a speaker from the chest up, with a clean background behind them. For a reception portrait, a slight change of angle can keep some of the room in the frame as context without letting it take over. The tighter view rewards a little thought about where you stand and what sits behind your subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn 85mm can feel too tight in a cramped venue; that’s the honest compromise. I’d still recommend this Meike when portraits are the main job, because its f\/1.8 maximum aperture gives you room to open up in dimmer event light and soften the background. For a head-and-shoulders portrait, try f\/1.8 when you want the person to read clearly against a less prominent setting, and take a step back if the framing feels close. Autofocus is useful for candid moments; keep your focus point on the person’s face and try around 1\/250 sec for a moving guest. It suits people who can work at portrait distance, not those needing one lens for every tight room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct kind: Interchangeable lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 85mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: f\/1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens type: Short Telephoto Prime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: Leica L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Autofocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Meike","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57512823325012,"sku":"D284421","price":252.67,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/D284421_01.jpg?v=1791588330","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/meike-85mm-f-1-8-af-stm-l-mount","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
