Design of the Ksana 35mm F/2
Crafted from solid brass, the Ksana 35mm f/2 ASPH combines durability with a premium tactile feel. The black version draws inspiration from classic rangefinder lenses, featuring an elegant semi-gloss finish, while the silver edition offers a refined metallic look that pairs perfectly with silver-bodied cameras.
Both versions include a crescent-shaped focus tab for precise and comfortable manual focusing, along with a subtle tactile stop at 0.7m that provides intuitive feedback when approaching the rangefinder’s minimum focusing distance.
