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 Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 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 Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 with a length of 34mm, is 31mm shorter. On the other hand, there is no difference between the max diameters of these lenses, both coming at 51mm.
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. Leica Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 weighs 220g, 37% (132g) lighter than the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M's weight of 352g.

Filter Threads
The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M has a filter size of 49mm whereas the Leica Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 has a 39mm 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 35mm F1.4 M:
And these are the 39mm filters that we recommend for the Leica Summarit-M 35mm f2.5:
Lens Mounts
Both the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M and the Leica Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 has the same Leica M lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Leica M lenses are Leica M EV1, Leica M11-D and Pixii Max.
Focal Range
Thypoch 35mm F1.4 M is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 35mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of
52.5mm.
On the other hand, the Leica Summarit-M 35mm f2.5 is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 25-35mm.
