Pick the Nokton 35mm f/1.2 if you prioritize a faster aperture for low-light shooting and a wider field of view for environmental portraits or street photography. The Color-Skopar 50mm f/2.2 stays the better choice if you prefer a more traditional standard focal length, slightly lower cost, or a marginally more compact design. Both deliver similar optical quality within the given specs, so the decision hinges on shooting style and aperture needs.
