The Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 just got announced. I’ve had the privilege to test out this lens. No money exchanged hands, and Thypoch won’t see this review before you do.

Pros
• nice color/contrast
• flare handling seems strong
• still has a modern look overall
• quite flat field curvature
• compact brass build
• close focus to 0.5m
• really solid value (USD 599, EUR 529)

Neutral
• golden coating flares are kind of the whole vibe here, but doesn’t happen often
• a little cat-eye bokeh at the edges
• less crazy sun-in-frame than the 21mm version

Cons
• corner sharpness at close range
• slight midzone dip
• very-very slight corner CA wide open
• aperture clicks sound kind of weak
• hood costs extra

What are your thoughts?

Thypoch just announced the 24-50mm f/2.8 constant aperture lens. At just 432g, it’s a very nice alternative to the Sony variant or other prime lenses, especially for travel. I have not tested this lens but I’ve reviewed a couple of Thypoch lenses in the past and they’ve been great.

At EUR 539 / USD 619 at the Thypoch store, you can grab another 5% off using the code “LEICALENSLIST”.

This is in my opinion a good value for a 24-50mm zoom and I’m honestly waiting out for other reviewers to test this lens. Do you guys have any thoughts?
