The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M and the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 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 Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH is the longer of the two lenses at 53mm. The Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M with a length of 27mm, is 26mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH also has a larger diameter of 54mm compared to the Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M's 36mm 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 50mm F2.0 M weighs 120g, which means it is 215g (64%) lighter than the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH which has a weight of 335g.
Below you can find the dimension and weight table of the Standard Prime Lenses in Leica M Mount for size comparison purposes.

Filter Threads
The Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M has a filter size of 36mm whereas the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH has a 46mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 36mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M:
And these are the 46mm filters that we recommend for the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH:
Lens Mounts
Both the Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M and the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH has the same Leica M lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Leica M lenses are Leica M EV1, Leica M11-D and Pixii Max.
Focal Range
Both lenses have the same focal range of
50mm but while Thypoch 50mm F2.0 M has the fastest aperture of
F2.0, the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f1.4 ASPH's widest aperture value is
F1.4.
