The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Viltrox 35mm f1.2 N FE and the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 FE 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 135mm f1.8 FE is the longer of the two lenses at 146mm. The Viltrox 35mm f1.2 N FE with a length of 122mm, is 24mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 FE also has a larger diameter of 93mm compared to the Viltrox 35mm f1.2 N FE's 89mm 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 f1.2 N FE weighs 920g, which means it is 315g (25%) lighter than the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 FE which has a weight of 1235g.
Filter Threads
The Viltrox 35mm f1.2 N FE has a filter size of 77mm whereas the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 FE has a 82mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 77mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Viltrox 35mm f1.2 N FE:
And these are the 82mm filters that we recommend for the Viltrox 135mm f1.8 FE:
