The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 35mm 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 35mm F1.4 RF is the longer of the two lenses at 63mm. The Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM with a length of 25mm, is 38mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM has a larger diameter of 69mm compared to the Thypoch 35mm 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, 61% (190g) lighter than the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF's weight of 310g.

Filter Threads
The Thypoch 35mm 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 35mm 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 35mm 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 Canon R6 V, Canon R6 III and Canon C50.
Focal Range
Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 35mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.6x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of
56mm.
On the other hand, the Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 28mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.6x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of 44.8mm.
