The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Thypoch 75mm F1.4 M and the Leica APO 75mm f2 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 75mm F1.4 M is the longer of the two lenses at 78mm. The Leica APO 75mm f2 ASPH with a length of 67mm, is 11mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 75mm F1.4 M also has a larger diameter of 64mm compared to the Leica APO 75mm f2 ASPH's 58mm 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 75mm F1.4 M weighs 372g, which means it is 58g (13%) lighter than the Leica APO 75mm f2 ASPH which has a weight of 430g.
