Meike has officially released the AF 85mm f/1.4 MIX Ⅱ full-frame lens designed for Nikon Z-mount cameras. The announcement confirms that the lens is now available for purchase directly from the Meike online store, with plans to appear at B&H Photo in the near future.

The lens is priced at $569 and is offered in three color options: black, white, and a white/black combination. As a full-frame 85mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/1.4, it is positioned as a portrait‑oriented option for creators who work with Nikon’s Z‑series mirrorless bodies.

Creator‑focused users may find the combination of a moderate telephoto focal length and a wide aperture useful for achieving shallow depth of field in stills and video work. The Z‑mount’s large throat diameter and short flange distance allow lens designers to optimize optical performance, and Meike’s entry adds another choice to the growing ecosystem of third‑party glass for Nikon’s mirrorless line.

Meike’s move follows a trend of third‑party manufacturers expanding their offerings for the Z‑mount, providing creators with more budget‑friendly alternatives alongside Nikon’s native lenses. By targeting the popular 85mm portrait segment, the company aims to serve photographers and videographers who seek a fast prime without the premium price tag of some first‑party options.

Interested buyers can order the lens immediately from the Meike store, with availability at B&H Photo expected soon. As always, creators should verify compatibility with their specific Z‑mount camera bodies and consider any firmware updates that may be required for optimal autofocus performance.
