Viltrox af 56mm f 1 2 pro vs sirui sniper 56mm f 1 2?

On paper, these two are the same lens. Both are 56mm f/1.2 primes for APS-C, both use Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z mounts, both have autofocus, and neither is stabilised. Both frame like 84mm on full frame, and both fit the same long list of cameras. My site doesn't record anything that separates them, such as price, sharpness, build or handling, so I can't tell you which one is better optically.

What I can say is that a 56mm f/1.2 is a strong choice for portraits on APS-C, where it plays the role an 85mm f/1.8 does on full frame. Check the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro and the Sirui Sniper 56mm f/1.2 pages for your camera, compare prices, and read reviews on the points I can't cover. For portrait context, see Portraits. Also confirm that your body's autofocus works with third-party lenses, as explained in Third-party lenses.
