Thypoch Simera-C 21mm T1.5 Cine (Leica M) lens

The Thypoch Simera-C 21mm T1.5 is a wide-angle cinema lens designed for full-frame video shooting, combining a wide perspective with a bright T1.5 maximum aperture. The lens brings modern optical precision, natural rendering, and full-fledged film-style features such as 0.8 MOD gears and no fewer than 16 rounded diaphragm blades to film productions.

Thanks to its lightweight design, the 21mm Simera-C is suitable for gimbal use, tight spaces, auto rigs, and agile handheld shooting alongside new compact cinema cameras.

Ultimate adaptability: The lens features a native Leica M mount, with a short flange distance that makes it extremely versatile. It can be easily adapted to most modern systems (such as Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Leica L and Fujifilm X) with adapters, and even to ARRI ALEXA and Sony VENICE production cameras with a separate PL-to-M adapter. Note: The lens does not connect to the Leica M camera's rangefinder, but focusing is done from the screen or using the electronic viewfinder (EVF).

High resolution and organic look: The optical design utilizes aspherical elements, low dispersion (LD) lenses, and high refractive index (HR) special glass. This combination ensures excellent edge-to-edge resolution and effectively controls chromatic aberrations. A high-quality multi-layer coating minimizes stray light and reflections, maintaining bright image contrast even in backlight conditions.

The huge T1.5 aperture enables working in challenging low light conditions and creates an exceptionally beautiful depth of field for the wide-angle lens, allowing the subject to be separated from its background. 16 diaphragm blades ensure soft, round bokeh throughout the aperture range. The position of the toothed rings and the T1.5–T16 aperture scale are consistent with other lenses in the series, which speeds up lens changes in productions.
