Leica Digest #230: Thypoch L-Mount Zoom, Topaz Updates, Vintage Market Surge

The one item worth pulling out of this digest: Thypoch is building the first Chinese full-frame autofocus constant-aperture zoom for L-mount. That's the Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8, and if it lands anywhere near the price of Thypoch's existing glass, it puts serious pressure on the Lumix S 24-105mm and Sigma's L-mount zooms. L-mount shooters on SL, SL2, S5 or S1 bodies have been paying Leica or Sigma prices for glass with no real budget alternative. That could change. The rest of this digest is Leica collector content and a Topaz update worth checking separately.
