Voigtl nder super nokton 29mm f 0 8 aspherical vs laowa argus 18mm f 0 95 mft apo?

Both are fast, manual-focus primes for Micro Four Thirds, so the choice comes down to the view you want.

The Voigtländer Super Nokton 29mm f/0.8 is the longer view. It frames like 58mm on full frame and gives about the depth of field of f/1.6 there. That suits portraits and tighter shots with a soft background.

The Laowa Argus 18mm f/0.9 is the wider one. It frames like 36mm on full frame and gives about the depth of field of f/1.9. Choose it for street, interiors, or anywhere you want the scene around your subject.

Both fit the same bodies, such as the OM System OM-1. If you shoot mostly people, Portraits explains why a longer view flatters. If you're unsure which field of view you want, the focal length converter helps.
