Thypoch Unveils the Simera 75mm f/1.4 Lens
Thypoch has introduced its fourth fast Simera prime lens for full-frame cameras, the Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 ASPH. The Simera series’ longest lens, the new medium-telephoto lens for M-mount cameras, is easily adaptable to APS-C and full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4, one of only a few 75mm f/1.4 lenses with rangefinder coupling, promises to deliver the same exceptional performance as the rest of the Simera series, which includes 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm f/1.4 full-frame lenses. Thypoch, with nine elements divided into eight groups, promises clean, soft bokeh, little chromatic aberration, and outstanding sharpness throughout the frame. The lens consists of two ED elements and high-refractive index glass.
“The Simera 75mm f/1.4 delivers a signature rendering with smooth focus fall-off and a distinct sense of dimensionality, making it ideal for capturing the blurred, emotive essence of a subject in flat photography,” according to Thypoch.
The lens has 16 aperture blades, with an aperture range of f/1.4 to f/16. Although not specific to this Simera lens, the aperture can be clicked or de-clicked, which is rare for M-mount lenses in general. Thypoch describes the Simera as well-suited for video applications because of its versatility. It also uses optical engineering from Thypoch’s Simera-C T1.5 cinema premier series.
As expected, the Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 is an M-mount lens with manual focus. The rangefinder-coupled focus range extends from 0.6 meters to infinity. The lens is only 63.5 millimeters long, has a 58mm front filter thread, and weighs approximately 372 grams.
The lens has a separate depth of field scale that displays the depth of field for a specific aperture and focus distance. As the photographer increases the focus range, more dots on the lens barrel turn red, indicating a change in depth of field.
The Thypoch Simera 75mm f/1.4 ASPH. comes in black and silver and will be available in M-mount for $849 in early March. Here are some sample pictures:
