Thypoch Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH. for Leica M – Black

CHARACTER AND CONSTRUCTION

The Thypoch Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH is a uniquely characterful wide-angle lens designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. While delivering high-fidelity image quality suitable for demanding modern photographers, it also recreates the warm, amber-toned flare signature of classic 1970s cine lenses—evoking the cinematic look seen in films such as Her and Manchester by the Sea. Its advanced optical construction features 8 elements in 6 groups, including 3 high-refractive-index elements, 1 extra-low-dispersion element, and 1 aspherical element, ensuring excellent sharpness at wide apertures while effectively controlling aberrations. The lens renders crisp detail across the frame and produces striking sunstars when stopped down to f/4. With a compact metal body, smooth manual focus operation, and a lightweight design of approximately 131g, the Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH is both highly portable and creatively distinctive—perfect for photographers who value both technical performance and expressive visual character.
