The Thypoch Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH for Leica M combines modern optical precision with the nostalgic amber-hued flare of 1970s cine lenses. Designed for landscape, street, and architectural photography, this compact manual-focus lens delivers high sharpness, beautiful sunstars, and a distinctive cinematic character in an ultra-lightweight metal body.
The Thypoch Ksana 21mm f/3.5 ASPH is a full-frame wide-angle lens crafted for Leica M mount rangefinder cameras, blending high-fidelity optical performance with a signature vintage cinematic look. Inspired by classic 1970s cine lenses, its EC’73 coating produces warm amber flares reminiscent of films such as Her and Manchester by the Sea, giving photographers a unique creative tool.
Optically, the lens features 8 elements in 6 groups, including 3 high-refractive-index elements, 1 extra-low-dispersion element, and 1 aspherical element, ensuring excellent sharpness and controlled aberrations even wide open at f/3.5. When stopped down to f/4 and beyond, the 9-blade iris creates striking sunstars, ideal for architectural and landscape scenes.
With a diagonal angle of view of 90.6°, a close focusing distance of 0.5 m, and a remarkably light weight of approximately 131 g, the Ksana 21mm is perfectly suited for travel, street, and everyday documentary work. Its compact silver-finish metal body complements classic Leica cameras while maintaining modern optical standards.
