Thypoch to announce new lenses for Nikon Z-mount



Thypoch already makes several manual focus lenses for Leica M-mount and the company is expected/rumored to announce new lenses also for Nikon Z-mount. Thypoch currently has the 28mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 M lenses and they will soon announce a new 50mm f/2 – these are probably going to be also the first lenses for Z-mount.

Thypoch lenses are sold at Adorama and B&H Photo.
