Voigtl nder portrait heliar 75mm f 1 8 vs 7artisans 75mm f 1 4?

Both are 75mm manual-focus primes for full frame, and both fit Sony E, Nikon Z and Canon RF. The main difference is aperture. The 7Artisans 75mm f/1.4 is faster and gives shallower depth of field. On Sony or Nikon APS-C it behaves like f/2.1, against about f/2.7 for the Voigtländer Portrait Heliar 75mm f/1.8.

Choose the 7Artisans if you shoot portraits in dim light or want the most background blur. It also comes in L-Mount, which the Voigtländer doesn't. Choose the Voigtländer if f/1.8 is enough for you and you'd like a little more depth of field to work with.
