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 Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 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 Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 with a length of 46mm, is 23mm shorter. On the other hand, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 has a larger diameter of 54mm 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 12g (4%) lighter than the Voigtlander 50mm F1.5 which has a weight of 293g.
