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 Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II 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 Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II with a length of 70mm, is 9mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M also has a larger diameter of 65mm compared to the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II'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 8g (1%) lighter than the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II which has a weight of 435g.
Filter Threads
The Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M has a filter size of 62mm whereas the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II has a 52mm 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 52mm filters that we recommend for the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II:
Lens Mounts
The Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M has the Leica M lens mount whereas the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II has the Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with these mounts are Leica M EV1, Leica M11-D and Pixii Max for the Leica M Mount and OM System OM-3 Astro, OM System OM-5 II and OM System OM-3 for the Micro Four Thirds Mount.
Focal Range
Thypoch 21mm F1.4 M is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 21mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of
31.5mm.
On the other hand, the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 25mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of 50mm when used on a FourThirds format camera.
