Thypoch Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8

Thypoch announced the Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8, the first full-frame autofocus zoom developed by the Chinese optical brand and Thypoch’s first AF lens. Built for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Voyager uses an internal zoom mechanism that holds physical length fixed across the focal range, with a constant f/2.8 aperture from 24mm through 50mm.

The fixed barrel also eliminates lens creep when the camera is stowed, and removes the extending external moving parts that complicate weather sealing on conventional zooms.

The Voyager is Thypoch’s first autofocus lens. Its zoom architecture draws on the parent group’s experience in cinema zoom lens engineering, which includes constant-aperture and internal-zoom designs across multiple cine lens families. Cinema zooms are the discipline in which constant aperture and fixed barrel length were first solved as engineering problems. The Voyager applies that discipline to a still-format AF lens.
