The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX and the Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM 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. Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX is the longer of the two lenses at 105mm. The Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM with a length of 87mm, is 18mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM has a larger diameter of 94mm compared to the Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX's 79mm 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. Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX weighs 550g, which means it is 100g (15%) lighter than the Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM which has a weight of 650g.
Filter Threads
The Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX has a filter size of 72mm whereas the Canon 24mm f1.4L II USM has a 77mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
