Nikon z 50mm f 1 8 s vs meike 50mm f 1 8 stm?

They're the same kind of lens: 50mm, f/1.8, autofocus, no stabilisation, and on full frame both frame as a natural, slightly tight view. The difference is mount. The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S is made for Nikon Z bodies. The Meike 50mm f/1.8 STM also fits Sony E and L-Mount, so it's the one to look at if you shoot Sony or Panasonic.

If you have a Nikon Z body, I'd go with the Nikon. It's the native option and fits every Z body on its list. If you want one 50mm for a Sony or L-Mount camera, or you're trying a 50mm for the first time, the Meike is a sensible way in.

I don't list prices or sharpness results here, so I can't tell you which gives more for your money. For why a 50mm is the lens to start with, see your first lenses and the portraits guide.
