Good
The Thypoch Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8 is a compact, weather-sealed standard zoom that offers a unique internal zoom mechanism and a constant f/2.8 aperture at an accessible price point.

Thypoch did a good job with this lens and it works well for both photo and video, as Sony E-mount users will expect. There are definitely some optical achievements to be celebrated here, too, even if it's not perfect.

I like that the Thypoch Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8 is relatively compact and lightweight for a full-frame compatible standard zoom lens, along with a reasonably lightweight price tag.
