The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Brightin 35mm f1.8 and the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f0.95 ASPH 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. Brightin 35mm f1.8 is the longer of the two lenses at 88mm. The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f0.95 ASPH with a length of 75mm, is 13mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Brightin 35mm f1.8 also has a larger diameter of 75mm compared to the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f0.95 ASPH's 73mm 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. Brightin 35mm f1.8 weighs 420g, which means it is 280g (40%) lighter than the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f0.95 ASPH which has a weight of 700g.
Filter Threads
The Brightin 35mm f1.8 has a filter size of 62mm whereas the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f0.95 ASPH has a 60mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
