7artisans af 35mm f 1 8 aps c vs viltrox af 35mm f 1 7 air?

These two are close relatives. Both are 35mm autofocus primes for APS-C, both mount on Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z, both frame like a 52mm on full frame, and neither has stabilisation. The main difference is aperture. The Viltrox opens to f/1.7 and the 7Artisans AF 35mm f/1.8 APS-C to f/1.8. That's a small gap, but the Viltrox gives a little more light and slightly more background blur.

If you shoot in dim rooms or want the most separation from the background, I'd go with the Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.7 Air. For the crop maths behind those depth-of-field figures, see the focal length converter.
