7artisans 35mm f 1 2 ii vs voigtl nder nokton 25mm f 0 95 type ii?

Both are manual-focus primes, so the choice comes down to your camera mount and the view you want.

The 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2 II is my pick if you shoot Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z or Micro Four Thirds and want a cheap, compact, fast normal lens. On APS-C it frames like about 52mm on full frame, a comfortable everyday view.

The Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II only fits Micro Four Thirds. There it frames like 50mm on full frame, and its wide aperture gives very shallow depth of field for its size. It suits low light and subject separation if you already shoot that system.

On Micro Four Thirds, the 7Artisans gives you a tighter view, while the Nokton gives you a standard one.
