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 TTArtisan 35mm F1.8 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. TTArtisan 35mm F1.8 is the longer of the two lenses at 65mm. The Viltrox 35mm F1.7 X with a length of 56mm, is 9mm shorter. On the other hand, the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 X has a larger diameter of 64mm compared to the TTArtisan 35mm F1.8's 60mm diameter.
