The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF and the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM 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 28mm F1.4 RF is the longer of the two lenses at 69mm. The Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM with a length of 25mm, is 44mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM has a larger diameter of 69mm compared to the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF's 54mm 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. Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM weighs 120g, 66% (233g) lighter than the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF's weight of 353g.

Filter Threads
The Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF has a filter size of 49mm whereas the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM has a 55mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 49mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF:
And these are the 55mm filters that we recommend for the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM:
Lens Mounts
Both the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF and the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM has the same Canon RF lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Canon RF lenses are RED Komodo-X 6K, RED Komodo 6K and Canon EOS C70.
Focal Range
Both lenses have the same focal range of
28mm but while Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF has the fastest aperture of
F1.4, the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM's widest aperture value is
F2.8.
