Meike 23mm f/1.4 AF 23mm
A fast f/1.4 aperture on a 23mm APS-C lens provides strong low-light performance and background blur, backed by a 13-element optical design with two aspherical and one ED element to suppress aberrations. The compact 298g build pairs with STM autofocus and stabilization, though firmware updates require an Android device via Type-C. Best for portrait photographers on Sony E-mount APS-C bodies who want a lightweight prime with wide-aperture isolation.
