The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 50mm F1.8 Z and the 7artisans 50mm F1.1 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. Viltrox 50mm F1.8 Z is the longer of the two lenses at 90mm. The 7artisans 50mm F1.1 with a length of 49mm, is 41mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Viltrox 50mm F1.8 Z also has a larger diameter of 70mm compared to the 7artisans 50mm F1.1's 60mm 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. Viltrox 50mm F1.8 Z weighs 390g, which means it is 10g (2%) lighter than the 7artisans 50mm F1.1 which has a weight of 400g.
