Zeiss loxia 35mm f 2 vs 7artisans 35mm f 1 4 iii?

Both are 35mm full-frame primes with manual focus and no stabilisation, so the choice comes down to aperture and mount.

The 7Artisans 35mm f/1.4 III is the faster lens. f/1.4 gives you more light for low-light shooting and shallower backgrounds. It also comes in four mounts: Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L-Mount.

The Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 is only available for Sony E. If you shoot Sony, it's a sensible alternative, but at f/2 it gives up a stop of light to the 7Artisans.

If you're on Sony E and want the faster lens, I'd go with the 7Artisans. For a broader idea of where a 35mm fits, see Lenses and Portraits.
