I picked up the Japanese leaflet for this lens from Fujiya Camera today. They had some nice New Year sales going on with reduced prices on many Voigtländer lenses too (cheaper than I've seen before) but there was nothing new for me to buy right now.

Why get that when you can get a Thypoch for the same money?

Very curious to see the rendering of the Thypoch 28. I was not super impressed by the 35/1.5 images. I am hoping the Thypoch has a little more character or singularity with less optical vignetting.

Yeah but the Voigtlander 28 1.5 only goes down to f16. The Thypoch goes down to f1116.

And that with the better MFD it makes the Thypoch a macro beast!

Thank you for sharing, some pretty strong optical vignetting judging by the backgrounds which is expected but still a shame.

I bought the Colour Skopar 28mm and it is quite nice. But this Nokton looks fantastic. Maybe I will end up using both, one for travelling and the other for pleasure

In Germany you won´t get the CV28f1.5 for the same money as the Thypoch 28f1.4, actually you pay 300€ more for version I and 400€ more for version II.

Nice as I already have it, but also nice because you can get the Haoge version (which is great) for $40 if you don't want to spend $70 for the CV version.
But have the Thypochs actually been released? I don't see them in stock.

The Voigtländer 28 f1.5 is listed for 1049€ (version I) and 1149€ (version II).

In Japan Thypoch 35/1.4 is available to buy now from their Japanese distributor at 128K yen, 28/1.4 is not yet available here:
https://2ndfocus.com/en/products/typoch
Map Camera's prices for the CV 28/1.5 are a bit cheaper at 115K for Type I and 124K for Type II.
I think CV prices are usually better in Japan than Europe though and weak yen makes Chinese lenses relatively expensive when bought from their official Japanese distributors currently.

Here in the Czech Republic the price for version I is EUR 924. Well, it's not enough, I expected less.

Map Camera put out a video showing the lens (in Japanese):

There is also a 5min part where they switch to 28/2.8 in the middle.

I like what I see so far. When the lens is wide open, there's some noticeable purple fringing (LoCA), but that's typical for fast 28mm lenses. Based on the samples, optical vignetting doesn't appear too extreme, which is good news for this compact lens.
