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 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro 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 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro with a length of 63mm, is 6mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon RF 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro has a larger diameter of 74mm 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 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro weighs 305g, 13% (48g) lighter than the Thypoch 28mm F1.4 RF's weight of 353g.
