Thypoch Lenses (Leica M-Mount)

Thypoch is a third-party lens manufacturer specializing in manual focus optics for the Leica M-mount system. The brand distinguishes itself through the use of vintage-inspired design elements, including brass barrel construction and "depth-of-field" indicator scales similar to those found on mid-20th-century rangefinder lenses. Current pricing models for Thypoch optics allow for stacked promotional adjustments. In addition to site-wide retail adjustments, the application of the code LEICALENSLIST provides a further 5% discount on the listed price for the Simera and Eureka product lines.

Product Series Overview

Thypoch currently produces two primary lens series for the M-mount, distinguished by their mechanical design and optical rendering:

• Simera Series (Modern-Vintage Hybrid): The Thypoch Simera 35mm f/1.4 and its counterparts feature a crescent-shaped focus tab and a mechanical infinity lock. Optically, they are designed to balance high-resolution sensors with specific spherical aberrations that create a distinct bokeh character often associated with "classic" rendering.
• Eureka Series (Collapsible Design): The Thypoch Eureka 50mm f/2 is a collapsible lens modeled after vintage rangefinder optics. It is available in both aluminum and brass finishes.

Market Positioning: Thypoch vs. Voigtländer

In the third-party M-mount market, Thypoch is frequently compared to Cosina Voigtländer. The primary differentiation lies in optical philosophy.

Voigtländer, particularly in its Vintage Line and APO-Lanthar series, often prioritizes high contrast and apochromatic correction for clinical sharpness. In contrast, Thypoch prioritizes the tactile experience and specific optical "imperfections" (such as glow at wide apertures and smooth focus fall-off) to replicate the signature of legacy lenses. The Simera line incorporates an infinity lock mechanism, a feature historically found on 1950s-era Leica lenses, which provides tactile feedback to the user when the focus ring reaches the end of its travel.
