The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I and the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z 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 Z is the longer of the two lenses at 66mm. The Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I with a length of 45mm, is 21mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z also has a larger diameter of 54mm compared to the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I's 52mm 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. Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I weighs 150g, which means it is 159g (51%) lighter than the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z which has a weight of 309g.
Filter Threads
The Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I has a filter size of 34mm whereas the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z 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 34mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I:
And these are the 49mm filters that we recommend for the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z:
Lens Mounts
The Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I has the Leica M lens mount whereas the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z has the Nikon Z lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with these mounts are Leica M EV1, Leica M11-D and Pixii Max for the Leica M Mount and Nikon ZR, Nikon Z5 II and RED Komodo-X 6K Z for the Nikon Z Mount.
Focal Range
Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 I is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 50mm.
On the other hand, the Thypoch 35mm F1.4 Z is a prime lens with fixed focal lenght of 35mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.5x crop, it provides a 35mm (FF) equivalent of 52.5mm.
