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 Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN C 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 Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN C with a length of 49mm, is 56mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX also has a larger diameter of 79mm compared to the Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN C's 64mm 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. Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN C weighs 225g, 59% (325g) lighter than the Meike 24mm f1.4 MIX's weight of 550g.
