Meike 25mm f 1 7 air vs 7artisans af 25mm f 1 8?

The two lenses are very close. Both are 25mm autofocus primes for APS-C, both frame like 38mm on full frame, and both mount on Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z. Neither is stabilised, and both fit the same long list of cameras.

The difference is aperture. The Meike 25mm f/1.7 Air is a little faster, and on APS-C its depth of field is like f/2.5 on full frame. The 7Artisans AF 25mm f/1.8 gives about the depth of field of f/2.7. That's a small gap, but if you shoot indoors or want more background blur, the Meike is the one I'd pick. If you're shooting in good light and the extra half-stop doesn't matter to you, either will do the job. For more on how aperture translates across sensor sizes, see the focal length converter.
