Thypoch Full-frame Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH for Leica M mount black

The Thypoch Simera 21mm f/3.5 ASPH, also known by the project name Ksana, was specifically developed for the demanding Leica M user. With a focal length of 21mm, this lens offers an impressive angle of view that is perfect for capturing wide environments. The optical design utilizes aspherical lens elements to minimize aberrations, allowing you to enjoy high resolution and clarity even at wide-open apertures.

A unique feature of this lens is its compact size. With a length of only a few centimeters, the lens hardly obstructs the view through the optical viewfinder of your rangefinder camera. Despite this small size, the housing is fully crafted from high-quality metal, ensuring a durable and reliable construction that will last for years. The black finish fits seamlessly with the timeless design of Leica bodies.

Manual focusing is extremely smooth thanks to the precision-milled focus ring, which features a handy focus tab for quick operation. The aperture ring clicks firmly into the desired values, allowing you to intuitively adjust exposure while keeping your eye on the viewfinder. The minimum focus distance allows you to get close to your subject, enabling dynamic compositions with significant depth effects.

For photographers who value mechanical precision, the Thypoch 21mm offers a classic experience. The lens features an engraved depth-of-field scale, which is ideal for zone focusing during street photography. Thanks to the combination of its bright character for a 21mm pancake and advanced coatings, reflections and ghosting are kept to a minimum, even when shooting against the light.
