Is the tokina atx m 56mm f 1 4 worth it?

Yes, if you want a fast portrait lens on a crop camera. It's a 56mm f/1.4 prime with autofocus, made for APS-C, and it fits Sony E and Fujifilm X. On APS-C it frames roughly like 84mm on full frame, which is a classic portrait length. The portraits guide puts a 56mm f/1.2 to f/1.4 in the same role as an 85mm on full frame. It isn't stabilised, so it leans on fast shutter speeds or good light.

If you shoot Fujifilm, the X-T5 is a strong partner. On Sony, the a6400 is a sensible, lighter choice. If you're weighing whether crop is enough at all, sensor sizes covers that.
