7artisans 50mm f 1 4 tilt shift vs voigtl nder nokton 50mm f 1 2?

Both lenses frame like about 75mm on APS-C, which makes them good portrait-length options. The 7Artisans 50mm f/1.4 Tilt-Shift is the more flexible buy. It fits Sony E, Fujifilm X and Micro Four Thirds, and its f/1.4 gives about the depth of field of f/2.1 on APS-C.

The Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.2 is the faster lens, with about the depth of field of f/1.8 on APS-C. It only fits Fujifilm X, though, so it's only worth it if you're committed to that system and want the extra light and softer backgrounds.

Neither has autofocus, so both suit people who are happy focusing by hand. For more on portrait focal lengths, see portraits.
