Thypoch Full-frame Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH for Leica M mount, silver
The Thypoch Simera 21mm f/3.5 ASPH, also known under the project name Ksana, is specifically developed for demanding Leica M users. With a focal length of 21mm, this lens offers an impressive angle of view, making it perfect for capturing wide environments. The optical design uses aspherical lens elements to minimize aberrations, ensuring high resolution and clarity even at wide apertures.
A unique feature of this lens is its compact size. With a length of just a few centimeters, it barely obstructs the view through the optical viewfinder of a rangefinder camera. Despite its small form factor, the housing is fully made of high-quality metal, ensuring a durable and reliable construction that will last for years. The silver finish matches seamlessly with the timeless design of Leica camera bodies.
Manual focusing is exceptionally smooth thanks to the precisely machined focus ring with a convenient focus tab for quick operation. The aperture ring clicks confidently into place, allowing intuitive exposure adjustments while keeping your eye on the viewfinder. The short minimum focusing distance lets you get close to your subject, enabling dynamic compositions with strong depth.
For photographers who value mechanical precision, the Thypoch 21mm offers a classic shooting experience. The engraved depth-of-field scale is ideal for zone focusing during street photography. Thanks to the combination of a relatively fast aperture for a 21mm pancake lens and advanced coatings, reflections and ghosting are kept to a minimum, even when shooting into the light.
