7artisans 35mm f 1 4 iii vs canon rf 35mm f 1 4l vcm?

The biggest difference is autofocus. The Canon RF 35mm f/1.4L VCM autofocuses and is built for both stills and video, but it only mounts on Canon RF bodies. It fits full-frame cameras like the EOS R5 and R6, and APS-C ones like the R7 and R50.

The 7Artisans 35mm f/1.4 III is manual focus only. It also has the same f/1.4 aperture and 35mm focal length, but it mounts on Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L-Mount, so it's the more flexible choice across brands.

If you shoot Canon RF and want autofocus, I'd go with the Canon. If you're on another system, or you don't mind focusing by hand, the 7Artisans is the one to try. Either way, a 35mm f/1.4 is a good pick for environmental portraits, as the portraits guide explains.
