The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Leica M 50mm F1.4 2023 and the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 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. Leica M 50mm F1.4 2023 is the longer of the two lenses at 59mm. The Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 with a length of 57mm, is 2mm shorter. On the other hand, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 has a larger diameter of 70mm compared to the Leica M 50mm F1.4 2023's 59mm 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. Leica M 50mm F1.4 2023 weighs 337g, which means it is 91g (21%) lighter than the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 which has a weight of 428g.
