The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 50mm F1.4 M and the Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 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. Thypoch 50mm F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 69mm. The Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM with a length of 65mm, is 4mm shorter. On the other hand, the Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM has a larger diameter of 63mm compared to the Thypoch 50mm F1.4 M's 53mm 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 50mm F1.4 M weighs 281g, which means it is 100g (26%) lighter than the Carl Zeiss Distagon T1,4/35 ZM which has a weight of 381g.
