The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 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. Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 is the longer of the two lenses at 57mm. The Leica 50mm f1.4 2025 with a length of 45mm, is 12mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 also has a larger diameter of 70mm compared to the Leica 50mm f1.4 2025's 58mm 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 50mm f1.4 2025 weighs 417g, which means it is 11g (2%) lighter than the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 which has a weight of 428g.
Below you can find the dimension and weight table of the Standard Prime Lenses in Leica M Mount for size comparison purposes.
