The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z and the Sigma 16mm F1.4 C 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. Sigma 16mm F1.4 C is the longer of the two lenses at 92mm. The Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z with a length of 66mm, is 26mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Sigma 16mm F1.4 C also has a larger diameter of 72mm compared to the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z'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 Z weighs 309g, which means it is 96g (23%) lighter than the Sigma 16mm F1.4 C which has a weight of 405g.
