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 Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 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 RF is the longer of the two lenses at 63mm. The Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH with a length of 46mm, is 17mm shorter. On the other hand, the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH has a larger diameter of 56mm 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. Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF weighs 310g, which means it is 10g (3%) lighter than the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH which has a weight of 320g.
Filter Threads
The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF has a filter size of 49mm whereas the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH has a 46mm 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 46mm filters that we recommend for the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH:
Lens Mounts
The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF has the Canon RF lens mount whereas the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f1.4 ASPH has the Leica M lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with these mounts are Canon R6 V, Canon R6 III and Canon C50 for the Canon RF Mount and Leica M EV1, Leica M11-D and Pixii Max for the Leica M Mount.
Focal Range
Both lenses have the same focal range of
35mm and the fastest aperture of
F1.4.
