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 24mm 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 24mm f1.4 ASPH with a length of 59mm, is 20mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M also has a larger diameter of 65mm compared to the Leica Summilux-M 24mm f1.4 ASPH's 61mm 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 73g (14%) lighter than the Leica Summilux-M 24mm f1.4 ASPH which has a weight of 500g.

31.5mm.
On the other hand, the Leica Summilux-M 24mm f1.4 ASPH is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 24mm.
