Hi im looking for a manual wide angle lens (24-31.5mm ff eqiv.) for my X-E5, currently have a hard time to choose between Voigtlander X 18mm 2.8 and Thypoch M 21mm 3.5, despite im quite satisfied with the owned native Voigtlander 27mm 2.0, the focus knob sometimes could be a bit tricky to locate at first point, the Thypoch Ksana on the other hand seems having better ergonomics here. Just wonder how the Thypoch wide angle M mount lens performing on the thicker X-Trans sensors, any SOOC sample of 21mm 3.5 on Fuji cameras would be appreciated thanks.
Pure speculation on my part since I haven't used the Ksana: the "corner smearing" that people worry so much about is naturally going to be less of a problem on APS-C sensors since the sensor effectively crops out the far corners of a full-frame sensor. I've also read that Thypoch tends to design things for an "average" sensor thickness (meaning you won't notice as dramatic a difference on different sensors, though their optics may not be optimized for any one of them).
I do have and love the Voigtlander 18mm but if you find the 27 difficult to use because of the focus tab you're going to have the same issues with the former.
