Ttartisan af 56mm f 1 8 vs viltrox af 56mm f 1 7 air?

Both are 56mm APS-C primes with autofocus, no stabilisation, and the same mounts: Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z. On APS-C they both frame like 84mm on full frame.

The difference is aperture. The Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Air is a little brighter, and its f/1.7 gives about the depth of field of f/2.5 on full frame, against f/2.7 for the TTArtisan AF 56mm f/1.8. That's a small gap, but it matters for portraits and dim rooms. I'd pick the Viltrox. If you want slightly more in focus at the same framing, the TTArtisan is the one. For portrait ideas, see the lenses section of the portraits guide.
