The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 35mm f2 ASPH and the Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM 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. Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM is the longer of the two lenses at 65mm. The Thypoch 35mm f2 ASPH with a length of 27mm, is 38mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM also has a larger diameter of 63mm compared to the Thypoch 35mm f2 ASPH's 40mm diameter.
