The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 21mm f3.5 and the Voigtlander 21mm F4 Color Skopar II 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. Thypoch 21mm f3.5 is the longer of the two lenses at 35mm. The Voigtlander 21mm F4 Color Skopar II with a length of 25mm, is 10mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 21mm f3.5 also has a larger diameter of 58mm compared to the Voigtlander 21mm F4 Color Skopar II's 55mm 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. Thypoch 21mm f3.5 weighs 131g, which means it is 5g (3%) lighter than the Voigtlander 21mm F4 Color Skopar II which has a weight of 136g.
