The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M and the Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR 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 F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 79mm. The Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR with a length of 46mm, is 33mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M also has a larger diameter of 65mm compared to the Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR's 60mm 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. Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR weighs 170g, 60% (257g) lighter than the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M's weight of 427g.
Filter Threads
The Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M has a filter size of 62mm whereas the Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR has a 43mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 62mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M:
And these are the 43mm filters that we recommend for the Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR:
Lens Mounts
The Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M has the Leica M lens mount whereas the Fujifilm XF 35mm F2 R WR has the Fujifilm X lens mount.
