Voigtl nder super nokton 29mm f 0 8 aspherical vs laowa argus 25mm f 0 95 mft apo?

Both are manual-focus primes for Micro Four Thirds with no stabilisation, so they suit people who enjoy focusing by hand. Either one fits bodies such as the OM System OM-1 Mark II and the OM System OM-5.

The difference is framing. The Voigtländer Super Nokton 29mm f/0.8 frames like 58mm on full frame, a tighter view that suits portraits, and its f/0.8 gives very shallow depth of field. The Laowa Argus 25mm MFT APO frames like 50mm, which is a more natural everyday view.

My pick: go with the Voigtländer if people and close subjects are your main interest. If you want one lens for everything, the Laowa is the more practical choice. For more on focal lengths for people, see the portraits guide.
