Viltrox af 9mm f 2 8 air vs sony e 11mm f 1 8?

The Viltrox AF 9mm f/2.8 Air is the wider of the two. On APS-C it frames like 14mm on full frame, and it comes in Sony E, Fujifilm X and Nikon Z mounts, so it's the flexible choice if you might switch systems. It also works on many full-frame Sony and Nikon bodies in APS-C crop mode.

The Sony E 11mm f/1.8 is my pick if you shoot in dim rooms or want more background separation. It frames like 16mm on full frame, and f/1.8 gives roughly the blur of f/2.7 there. It only fits Sony E.

So go with the Viltrox for width and mount flexibility, and the Sony for light and blur. Neither lens is stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when handholding.
