SUMMARY
Thypoch, known for manual focus primes, has released its first autofocus zoom lens, the 24-50mm f/2.8, for Sony E-mount at $619. The lens features a durable plastic body with a metal mount, weather-sealing, and a USB-C port for firmware updates. Autofocus performance is quiet, accurate, and fast. While sharpness is good in the center at f/2.8, corners are soft and exhibit fringing, improving significantly by f/5.6. Distortion is average, vignetting is low, and the lens produces notably large sun stars.
