The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 35mm f1.4 II and the Leica APO-SL 28mm F2 ASPH 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 APO-SL 28mm F2 ASPH is the longer of the two lenses at 102mm. The Sigma 35mm f1.4 II with a length of 94mm, is 8mm shorter. On the other hand, there is no difference between the max diameters of these lenses, both coming at 73mm.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Sigma 35mm f1.4 II and Leica APO-SL 28mm F2 ASPH to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
