From this review it seems they targeted an average coverglass thickness rather than optimising for the native (Leica M) mount? That is very disappointing, just makes me think what this lens could have been if it were properly optimised.

Do we have any written non-youtube hype reviews yet? Curious about this lens
Thypoch makes some good glass, but they have really crapped the bed when it comes to port-ing the lenses to different mounts. Sensor stack optimization, not chipped, MFD is not improved nor are the m - versions of the lenses smaller than the MILC mounts. My guess is it’s just cheaper for them/more profitable to not adjust anything. Too bad—wish they would take the CV route.
I had the 50/1.5 Simera-C and the ergo and build felt much nicer than the stills versions while there had been some optical tweak.
I wonder how their lenses are selling generally and if they’ll stick around for the next 5-10 years. I’d like to try this 21/1.4, but I am in no hurry. At some point I’ll pick one up. I wonderful if Thypoch will wade into zoom lenses at all.
