Voigtl nder heliar 40mm f 2 8 aspherical vs 7artisans m 35mm f 2 8?

Both are manual-focus, f/2.8 primes for full frame Leica M bodies, so the choice comes down to framing. The Voigtländer Heliar 40mm sits a little tighter on the subject. The 7Artisans M 35mm f/2.8 takes in more of the scene, which suits environmental shots and groups, as my portraits guide explains.

If you want to fit more of the room or the place into the frame, get the 35mm. If you want a slightly closer view of a single subject, get the 40mm. Both mount on the same Leica M bodies, so you can decide purely on what you photograph.
