Well-suited for portraiture, the MK-85mm f/1.8 Lens from Meike is a short-telephoto prime designed for Canon EF-mount cameras. Pairing well with the short telephoto focal length is a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture that benefits working in low-light as well as affords greater control over depth of field for selective focus control. An AF/MF switch on the lens barrel permits quick switching between focusing methods, and the lens can focus as closely as 2.8' to suit photographing nearby subjects.

EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format    Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/22    Multi-Layer Nano Coating    AF/MF Switch    Minimum Focusing Distance: 2.8'

Ideal portrait-length prime is designed for full-frame format Canon EF-mount cameras, however this lens can also be used with APS-C-format models where it will provide a 136mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers increased control over depth of field and also benefits working in a variety of lighting conditions.

Multi-layer nano coating has been applied in order to suppress ghosting and flare for increased contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

An AF/MF switch on the lens barrel allows you to select focusing methods, with either setting allowing you to focus as closely as 2.8' away.

Q: 3. How does this lens handle low-light sports action? I am specifically thinking about getting it for swim team action pictures.

A: This lens is geared for portraiture. It would not work well for shooting multiple lanes at a swim meet. In low light, especially indoor, you would have to open up the aperture. You would lose sharpness in your fore or back ground. Fixed focal length. Only your subject would be in sharp focus, and you might not have the reach (you want) for shots across the pool. This is a great lens, but not for your intended use.
