The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z and the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF 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. Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF is the longer of the two lenses at 63mm. The Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z with a length of 56mm, is 7mm shorter. On the other hand, the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z has a larger diameter of 64mm compared to the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF's 54mm 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 Z weighs 180g, which means it is 130g (41%) lighter than the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF which has a weight of 310g.
Filter Threads
The Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z has a filter size of 52mm whereas the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF has a 49mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 52mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z:
And these are the 49mm filters that we recommend for the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF:

35mm but while Viltrox 35mm F1.7 Z has the fastest aperture of
F1.7, the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 RF's widest aperture value is
F1.4.
