Thypoch, an emerging manufacturer of photo lenses with vintage look, is set to expand its popular Simera 35mm f/1.4 and Simera 28mm f/1.4 lenses to include Nikon Z, Sony E, Fujifilm X and Canon RF mounts. This expansion comes in response to feedback from Thypoch’s fans and users, who have expressed a desire for more versatility in their lens options.
The Thypoch team is committed to maintaining the exceptional performance of the original M-mount lenses while fine-tuning the new mount solutions for optimal results. The release of Z,E, X and RF mount lenses will provide photographers with enhanced capabilities to capture transient moments with precision and clarity.
Improved user experience
- The ergonomic crescent-shaped focus tab for the Z, E, X and RF lenses marks a significant improvement in the focusing experience. It’s a game-changer for focusing, replacing the old infinity lock with a design that makes focusing smoother and more intuitive, enabling photographers to achieve precise focus on their subjects with greater ease and comfort.
- The subtle resistance at 0.7m and closer on the focus ring will be removed in the latest versions of Z, E, X and RF lenses. This enhancement caters to the user experience of non-rangefinder cameras from Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and Canon.
Retained design and optics
- The classic design of the automatic depth-of-field scale provides a quick and easy way for photographers to determine focus distance when shooting at hyperfocal distances, ensuring that every shot is perfectly focused.
- Simera 35mm f/1.4 and Simera 28mm f/1.4 for Z, E, X and RF mount have a constant maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a constant minimum focusing distance of 0.45m and 0.4m. Therefore, photographers can achieve beautifully blurred backgrounds and crisp subjects in low-lighting conditions. Both lenses feature built-in floating elements (FLE) to ensure optimal image performance at close distances, delivering sharp imaging from center to edge and conveying subtle narrative texture.
- Clicked and de-clicked aperture modes symbolized by icons “sun” and “moon” are also in place for users to choose based on their needs. Videography is made easier via de-clicked aperture modes, which enable users to switch apertures silently and seamlessly.
Pricing and Availability
As with the M mount, the Simera 35mm & 28mm f/1.4 for Z, E, X and RF mounts are priced at $649 USD /$609 EUR (including a square lens hood, a front and a rear cap). Aside from the Simera lenses for Z mount, which is available for purchase on May 20, the X, E, RF mount will be available in mid-June.
