Ttartisan 25mm f 2 vs laowa argus 25mm f 0 95 cf apo?

Both lenses frame the same on APS-C, roughly like 38mm on full frame (40mm on Canon RF APS-C bodies), and both are manual focus with no stabilisation. The difference is speed and mounts.

The Laowa Argus 25mm f/0.95 CF APO is the one for dim light and the shallowest depth of field. At f/0.9 it gives about the depth of field of f/1.4 on APS-C. It mounts on Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z and Canon RF.

The TTArtisan 25mm f/2 is slower, with about the depth of field of f/3 on APS-C, but it's the more flexible buy. It also fits L-Mount and Micro Four Thirds, so it's the better choice if you might change systems.

I'd pick the Laowa for low-light work and soft backgrounds, and the TTArtisan if mount range matters more. The aperture and depth of field notes explain how these numbers carry across formats.
