Verdict
Pick the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm f/3.5 if you need a slightly brighter f/3.5 aperture for low light or shallower depth of field and prefer a standard 50mm focal length—its lower price also leaves room for accessories. The Zeiss C Biogon 35mm f/2.8 stays the better choice if you prioritize a wider 35mm field of view for environmental shots or street photography, despite the marginally slower aperture and higher cost.
