The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M and the Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm F2 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 35mm F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 65mm. The Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm F2 ASPH with a length of 41mm, is 24mm shorter. On the other hand, the Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm F2 ASPH has a larger diameter of 53mm compared to the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M's 51mm diameter.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M and Leica APO-Summicron-M 35mm F2 ASPH to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
