The Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS and the Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 OSS if you want optical stabilisation, which helps most on bodies without it; a design for APS-C, which usually means smaller and lighter; and a lighter lens (154 g against 365 g). Pick the Viltrox AF 55mm f/1.8 EVO if you want coverage of full frame, so it suits the larger-sensor bodies too and a fit on more cameras (57 against 41 in this guide).
