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 Leica Summilux-M 21mm 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. Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 79mm. The Leica Summilux-M 21mm f1.4 Asph with a length of 66mm, is 13mm shorter. On the other hand, the Leica Summilux-M 21mm f1.4 Asph has a larger diameter of 70mm compared to the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M's 65mm 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 F1.4 M weighs 427g, which means it is 153g (26%) lighter than the Leica Summilux-M 21mm f1.4 Asph which has a weight of 580g.
