The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D and the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 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 9mm F2.8 Zero-D is the longer of the two lenses at 53mm. The Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM with a length of 24mm, is 29mm shorter. On the other hand, the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM has a larger diameter of 61mm compared to the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D's 60mm diameter.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D and Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
Comparison image of the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D and the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM Size and Weight 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. Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM weighs 105g, 51% (110g) lighter than the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D's weight of 215g.
Filter Threads
The Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D has a filter size of 49mm whereas the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM has a 43mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 49mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D:
And these are the 43mm filters that we recommend for the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM:
Lens Mounts
Both the Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D and the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM has the same Canon EF-M lens mount . Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Canon EF-M lenses are
Fujifilm X and Sony E mounts.
Focal Range
Venus 9mm F2.8 Zero-D is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 9mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of
13.5mm when used on a APS-C / DX format camera.
On the other hand, the Canon EF-M 22mm f2 STM is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 22mm which has an effective (full-frame 35mm equivalent) focal range of 33mm when used on a APS-C / DX format camera.
