Simera-C lenses brought by Thypoch and DZOFILM, Smaller yet Stronger Cine Lenses

In partnership with the reputable DZOFILM，Thypoch -- a burgeoning brand in the camera lens domain, is setting a new standard with its Simera-C lens series, unveiled at IBC 2024.  Thypoch Simera-C series is meant to become almost the most compact T/1.5 cine lenses weighing around 400 grams. Each lens costs 879 USD / 799 EUR.

The Simera-C lenses share the same optics formula of the existing Simera photo lens, so they carry the same image quality and character. To achieve a more circular bokeh effect, the lenses have been increased to 16 iris blades instead of 14 blades used for the Simera photo version.

Key features:

-- 4 focal lengths from 28mm-75mm to ensure versatile narratives, with a 21mm in the roadmap.

-- Consistent fast aperture of T1.5 and 16 iris blades for round and pleasing bokeh.

-- Ultra-compact and lightweight, only weighing 390-470g. Ideal for car, handheld and, gimbal shooting.

-- High compatibility with mirrorless cameras and cinema cameras like DJI Ronin 4D.

-- Minimal chromatic aberration and high resolution.

-- Metric and Imperial dual focus scales.

-- Supporting an aluminum hard case for a four-lens set, small enough to be packaged into a cabin case and lightweight to be carried on the go with a supplied shoulder strap.

The Simera-C full-frame lenses, ranging from 28mm, 35mm, 50mm to 75mm (with an additional 21mm in the future), can handle most kinds of shooting situations.  Equipped with a 16-blade iris and a uniform fast aperture T1.5, these lenses effortlessly produce unparalleled spatial visual impact, enhancing the immersive quality of the imagery.

The Simera-C lenses are built with aspherical, ED, and high-refractive-index elements, enabling them to deliver ultra-high resolution and superior control over chromatic aberration, making them ideal for 8K high-resolution video production. Moreover, these lenses incorporate high-refractive index multi-coating to minimize flares and ghosting. Even in strong backlit conditions, the Simera-C lenses deliver high contrast and overall clean image.

The Simera-C lenses are perfectly compatible with Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras, Sony FX cine cameras, as well as Red, DJI Ronin 4D and Arri cinema cameras.

Pairing the extremely compact Simera-C lenses with autofocus systems like DJI Focus Pro streamlines equipment handling and eases the workload on the crew, enhancing shooting flexibility. Additionally, when mounted on the DJI Ronin 4D FLEX system and Sony Venice Rialto Extension, the Simera-C lenses can effortlessly capture challenging angles like low shots, over-the-shoulder perspectives, and tight car spaces. This setup not only expands the cinematic expression but also significantly boosts the agility, handling, and creative scope of the filming. 

Simera-C lenses share the same focus throw of 210° and identical geared position design. That means no readjustment is needed when swapping lenses or accessories. This feature, especially when using a gimbal or slider, cuts down on re-balancing time and boosts shooting efficiency.
