The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 and the 7artisans 50mm F1.1 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. Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 is the longer of the two lenses at 57mm. The 7artisans 50mm F1.1 with a length of 49mm, is 8mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 also has a larger diameter of 70mm compared to the 7artisans 50mm F1.1's 60mm 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. 7artisans 50mm F1.1 weighs 400g, 6% (28g) lighter than the Voigtlander 50mm F1.1's weight of 428g.
