Zeiss otus 55mm f 1 4 vs voigtl nder nokton 58mm f 1 4 sl iis?

Both are manual-focus f/1.4 primes for full frame, and neither has stabilisation, so your camera mount should decide it.

The Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 is the more flexible pick. It fits both Canon EF and Nikon F. The Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL IIs is Nikon F only.

If you shoot Canon, the Otus is the only one of the two that fits. On a Nikon body, both cover much the same ground, and the Nokton gives a slightly longer view at 58mm against the Otus's 55mm.

If you're after a portrait lens in general, Portraits explains how focal length and aperture affect the look.
