Voigtl nder nokton 25mm f 0 95 type ii vs laowa argus 18mm f 0 95 mft apo?

Both are fast, manual-focus primes for Micro Four Thirds, and both fit the same long list of bodies, from the OM-1 to the Panasonic G100. Neither is stabilised, so you'll be working with the camera's own stabilisation or steady hands.

The difference is framing. The Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II frames like a 50mm on full frame, which makes it my pick for portraits and close-up street work. The Laowa Argus 18mm f/0.95 MFT APO frames like a 36mm, a wider view that suits landscapes, interiors and travel.

If you can only have one, I'd choose the Nokton for people and the Argus for everything else. You can check how each focal length works on your own camera in the focal length converter.
