The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Leica M 35mm f1.2 and the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 M 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. Thypoch 28mm F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 69mm. The Leica M 35mm f1.2 with a length of 50mm, is 19mm shorter. On the other hand, the Leica M 35mm f1.2 has a larger diameter of 65mm compared to the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 M's 55mm 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. Thypoch 28mm F1.4 M weighs 330g, 20% (86g) lighter than the Leica M 35mm f1.2's weight of 416g.
