Panasonic lumix s 40mm f 2 vs 7artisans af 40mm f 2 5?

Both are 40mm primes that frame the same on full frame, and both autofocus without stabilisation. The real difference is the mount and the aperture.

The Panasonic Lumix S 40mm f/2 is my pick if you shoot L-Mount. It's a small, light standard prime, and f/2 gives you more light and a shallower background than the alternative.

The 7Artisans AF 40mm f/2.5 is the one to get if you shoot Sony E or Nikon Z, since it fits all three mounts. It's a little slower at f/2.5, but it's a sensible option if you don't want to pay for the maker's lens. Check that your body supports its autofocus before you buy, as the lenses guide explains.
