Aperture
The Thypoch Ksana 21mm f3.5 ASPH features a maximum aperture of F3.5 and can be stopped down to a minimum aperture of F22. While a maximum aperture of F3.5 requires a bit more ambient light or a bump in ISO when shooting indoors, it keeps the physical size of the lens much smaller and easier to carry. Given the wider 21mm field of view, the background will naturally stay a bit more in focus, making it ideal for environmental portraits, street photography, or landscapes where context matters. The minimum setting of F22 is excellent for deep depth of field work like macro photography, though you may want to avoid the absolute smallest settings to skip the sharpness loss caused by optical diffraction.
