The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 X and the Fujifilm 35mm F1.4 R 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 35mm F1.7 X is the longer of the two lenses at 56mm. The Fujifilm 35mm F1.4 R with a length of 55mm, is 1mm shorter. On the other hand, the Fujifilm 35mm F1.4 R has a larger diameter of 65mm compared to the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 X's 64mm 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 35mm F1.7 X weighs 180g, which means it is 7g (3%) lighter than the Fujifilm 35mm F1.4 R which has a weight of 187g.
