Meike 23mm f 1 4 stm vs tokina atx m 23mm f 1 4?

These two are close cousins. Both are 23mm f/1.4 primes for APS-C cameras, both autofocus, neither is stabilised, and both frame like a 34mm lens on full frame, with f/1.4 giving about the depth of field of f/2.1. The real difference is the mount.

The Meike 23mm f/1.4 STM is made for Sony E and Nikon Z, so it's the pick if you shoot a Nikon Z body such as the Z50 or Z30.

The Tokina atx-m 23mm f/1.4 is made for Sony E and Fujifilm X, so it's the one to choose if you shoot Fujifilm.

If you're on Sony E, either will do the job, and the choice comes down to which one you can find at a price you like. For more on what a fast 23mm-equivalent prime is good for, see your first lenses.
