Tokina atx m 56mm f 1 4 vs sigma 56mm f 1 4 dc dn contemporary?

Both are 56mm f/1.4 autofocus primes for APS-C cameras, with no stabilisation, and both frame like an 84mm lens on full frame on Sony E or Fujifilm X bodies. On those two mounts, the choice comes down to the rest of your kit.

The Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary covers far more ground: Sony E, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, L-Mount, Canon RF and Nikon Z. If you use or might move to any of those, it's the easy pick. The Tokina atx-m 56mm f/1.4 only fits Sony E and Fujifilm X, so it's the choice only if you're already on one of those.

For portraits, either one plays the role of an 85mm on full frame, as the portraits guide explains.
