The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z and the Venus 8-15mm f2.8 for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z is the longer of the two lenses at 78mm. The Venus 8-15mm f2.8 with a length of 76mm, is 2mm shorter. On the other hand, the Venus 8-15mm f2.8 has a larger diameter of 95mm compared to the Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z's 69mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z weighs 320g, which means it is 330g (50%) lighter than the Venus 8-15mm f2.8 which has a weight of 650g.
Lens Mounts
The Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z has the Nikon Z lens mount whereas the Venus 8-15mm f2.8 has the Leica L lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with these mounts are RED Komodo-X 6K Z, Nikon Z50 II and Nikon Z30 for the Nikon Z Mount and Leica SL3-P, Panasonic S1 II and Panasonic S1 IIE for the Leica L Mount.
Venus 8-15mm f2.8 is also available in Sony E , Nikon Z and Canon RF mounts.

Viltrox 90mm F2.2 Z is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 90mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of
135mm when used on a APS-C / DX format camera.
On the other hand, the Venus 8-15mm f2.8 has a focal range of 8-15mm and 1.9X zoom ratio . When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of 12 - 22.5mm.
