The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 X and the Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM 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. Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM is the longer of the two lenses at 68mm. The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 X with a length of 64mm, is 4mm shorter. On the other hand, the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 X has a larger diameter of 54mm compared to the Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM's 52mm 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. Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM weighs 240g, 19% (57g) lighter than the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 X's weight of 297g.
Filter Threads
The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 X has a filter size of 49mm whereas the Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM has a 43mm 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 X:
And these are the 43mm filters that we recommend for the Carl Zeiss Biogon T2/35 ZM:
