Thypoch’s Upcoming 24-50mm f/2.8 Lens

Thypoch looks ready to officially show its new 24–50mm f/2.8 at NAB 2026, and it marks a pretty significant step for the company. This is its first autofocus zoom lens, and notably, one of the first Chinese full-frame constant-aperture f/2.8 zooms with autofocus. The company has been teasing the lens for a few weeks, but is now starting to share more concrete details, giving us a clearer idea of how it fits into the lineup.

The lens covers a 24–50mm focal range with a constant f/2.8 aperture, putting it in the same category as compact standard zooms rather than the more common 24–70mm range. It is designed for full-frame cameras and will be available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica L mounts. One of the more interesting design choices is the internal zoom mechanism, meaning the barrel does not extend while zooming, which can help with balance and durability.

In terms of controls, the lens includes a manual aperture ring (f/2.8 to f/22), along with a dedicated AF/MF switch, a focus ring, and a customisable function button. The build is described as compact and lightweight, using a modern plastic construction instead of the metal designs Thypoch is known for, with diagonal rubber grip rings for handling.
