The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 33mm F1.4 X and the Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 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. Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 is the longer of the two lenses at 91mm. The Viltrox 33mm F1.4 X with a length of 72mm, is 19mm shorter. On the other hand, there is no difference between the max diameters of these lenses, both coming at 65mm.
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 33mm F1.4 X weighs 270g, which means it is 20g (6%) lighter than the Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 which has a weight of 290g.
