Voigtl nder macro apo lanthar 65mm f 2 aspherical vs 7artisans 60mm f 2 8 2x ultra macro?

Both are manual-focus macro lenses for full frame, and they suit different needs. The Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 65mm f/2 Aspherical is my pick if you want more light to work with. Its f/2 aperture is brighter, and it doubles as a sharp short portrait lens. It's made for Sony E and Nikon Z.

The 7Artisans 60mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro is slower, but it's the one to choose if you shoot Canon RF, which the Voigtländer doesn't list. It also covers Sony E and Nikon Z.

Neither lens has stabilisation or autofocus, so close work will go better with a tripod or plenty of light. If you shoot APS-C, the sensor sizes guide explains how these lenses frame.
