A Compact Everyday Lens with a Vintage Rendering
Named after the Sanskrit Kṣaṇa (क्षण /ˈksɑːnə/), the Ksana Series represents the eastern concept of the "instant". At roughly 0.018 seconds—nearly a 1/60s shutter speed—a kṣaṇa is the duration of a sudden enlightenment. If photography captures this singular "now," can these frozen moments inspire the future? Perhaps photography is simply the art of the eternal instant.
The Ksana series is ultra-light and compact, making these lenses the perfect "everyday carry" and capturing precise, fleeting moments. Furthermore, each lens is equipped with a unique vintage coating, offering distinct characteristics that provide photographers with a continuous flow of inspiration.
Capture a Fleeting Inspiration
As the first lens of the Ksana series, the 21mm f/3.5 blends classic aesthetics with vintage rendering. Its compact all-aluminum body is built for effortless daily carry and perfectly complements the Leica aesthetic. Featuring Epoch Coating 73, it recreates the iconic 1970s golden-amber flare, infusing every frame with a poetic atmosphere and boundless creative inspiration.
Ultra-Compact Seamless Control
The Ksana 21mm f/3.5 keeps things light and agile. Measuring just 27mm from mount to front edge and weighing only 131g, it fits easily into any bag and stays comfortable in hand—even during long handheld sessions. Its understated profile avoids drawing attention, letting you work quietly and capture genuine, unposed moments. Highly portable and discreet, it's made for street, travel, and documentary photography.
Modern Craftsmanship Timeless Imagery
Retaining vintage soul with exceptional sharpness, this compact design delivers high resolution with minimal chromatic aberration and distortion. The Ksana 21mm features an optical design incorporating 1 aspherical lens, 2 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses, and 3 high refractive index (HRI) lenses, effectively suppressing aberrations for superior image quality.
With 9 aperture blades, it produces stunning sun-stars at f/4. By blending retro flare with high-fidelity performance, it creates a truly unique creative signature.
Wide Perspective, Deep Dimensionality
