Meike Neo Series MK-5514STM-Z 55mm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (104)

The 55mm f/1.4 aperture on APS-C provides strong subject separation with 9 rounded blades, while its STM motor enables silent autofocus for video work. At 400g with a Type-C firmware port, it pairs lightweight handling with online updatability. Best for portrait photographers shooting on Sony E-mount APS-C bodies who need fast aperture and quiet AF for weddings.
