7artisans 9mm f 5 6 vs laowa 9mm f 5 6 ff rl?

Both are 9mm f/5.6 manual-focus primes for full frame, with no stabilisation and no autofocus. The choice mostly comes down to your mount.

The Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL is the one I'd pick if you shoot Leica M. It's also the one to get if you want the widest view, since it's a 135-degree rectilinear lens and the widest made for full frame. It fits Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Leica M.

The 7Artisans 9mm f/5.6 is the choice if you shoot Canon RF, because it's the only one of the two made for that mount. It also fits Sony E, Nikon Z and L-Mount.

On full frame, both frame the same 9mm view. If you use an APS-C body, both give roughly a 14mm view there. For a quick look at how crop factor affects framing and depth of field, see the focal length converter.
