Thypoch's 24-50mm f/2.8 AF: China's First Full-Frame Constant-Aperture Zoom
A compact 24-50mm f/2.8 with autofocus and an aperture ring from a Chinese brand isn't the 24-70mm killer — but if Thypoch nails the optics, it's a genuinely useful travel zoom for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L shooters who want f/2.8 constant aperture without the weight penalty or the price tag.

Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH for Leica M-mount incoming
If you shoot M-mount and want a pocketable 35mm with character rather than clinical perfection, Thypoch's upcoming Ksana 35mm f/2 is worth watching — it's engineered to flare warmly and render nostalgically, not fight it, which makes it a very different proposition to the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f/1.2 or Zeiss C Biogon at this focal length.

Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH M-Mount Lens Now Available
Thypoch keeps dismantling the idea that M-mount glass has to cost a fortune. The Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH ships in solid brass with a genuinely modern formula — one aspherical, one ED, two high-refractive-index elements — squeezed into 27mm of flange depth and under 200g. The 'Epoch Coating 84'' is either going to irritate or delight you depending on how you feel about deliberate 1980s flare character, but it's a real optical choice, not just marketing. For street and documentary shooters who want a pocketable 35mm on an M-body without paying Zeiss or Leica prices, orders are open now at B&H.

Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 Fisheye Zoom & Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 Now Official
Two launches worth different levels of attention. The Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 fisheye zoom at $399 is the more interesting of the two: a constant f/2.8 across a creative focal range that covers APS-C shooters on seven different mounts. If you're doing real estate walk-throughs, event coverage where you need something genuinely weird in the bag, or social content that needs visual punch, $399 for that range and aperture combination is hard to argue with. The Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 for Leica M is a narrower story — well-made glass from a brand building out a credible M-mount lineup, but the audience is self-selecting. If you're already shooting M, it's worth a look.

Thypoch Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH M-Mount Review
Thypoch's Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH is a compact M-mount lens reviewed by Fstoppers. Thypoch has been active in the M-mount space alongside a handful of other Chinese manufacturers, and this sits as a fast, aspherical 35mm option for Leica M and compatible bodies.
