Thypoch has built a name for itself by making lenses that lean into photography’s nostalgic side, and the Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH. fits neatly into that philosophy. This is a compact manual-focus 35mm lens designed for photographers who want a classic focal length, a tactile shooting experience, and an image style with a little more personality than the latest modern, ultra-corrected fare.
The lens is part of Thypoch's Ksana series, with a retro-inspired design language, Epoch Coating 84' for a nostalgic rendering style, and a solid brass body available in black or silver. It is also notably compact, measuring 27mm in length and weighing around 199g, which makes it the sort of lens you can leave on a camera all day.
