The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Venus 24mm F14 2x Macro Probe and the Canon EF-S 35mm F2.8 Macro IS STM 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. Venus 24mm F14 2x Macro Probe is the longer of the two lenses at 408mm. The Canon EF-S 35mm F2.8 Macro IS STM with a length of 56mm, is 352mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon EF-S 35mm F2.8 Macro IS STM has a larger diameter of 69mm compared to the Venus 24mm F14 2x Macro Probe's 38mm diameter.
