Simera Series is highly regarded for its superb performance and tactile design, gaining favor among vintage lens enthusiasts and modern creators. Building on the existing full-frame 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm f/1.4 lenses, Thypoch has released a new member with a more cinematic feel and versatile functions: Simera 21mm f/1.4. It merges the practical multi-focus philosophy of the series with the cinematic heritage of Simera-C 21mm, bringing expressiveness and visual impact to still photography and filmmaking.

The 21mm focal length is favored in film narratives for its ability to showcase expansive spaces or dramatic details. From the Super 35 film era to today's full-frame cameras, this focal length is loved for its calm yet slightly surreal effect. With years of experience in designing fast cinema lenses, Thypoch has integrated the precision and depth of cinema optical lenses into lenses used for everyday artistic creation.

At the closest focusing distance of 0.23 meters, it achieves a bokeh effect comparable to a 50mm f/1.4 lens at 0.55 meters, providing a wide perspective and subject isolation in compact compositions.

Featuring full-frame coverage and a floating lens group, a floating focus mechanism enhances macro performance and ensures consistent clarity from the closest focusing distance to infinity, significantly reducing aberrations and field curvature. Weighing only 427 grams, the Simera 21mm f/1.4 achieves a rare combination of optical complexity, portability, and performance. It supports Leica M Mount and is compatible with Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L, and Fujifilm X, opening up new creative realms for diverse systems.

Main Features:

• Ideal for landscape photography and portrait macro shots.

• 14-blade aperture, delivering smooth bokeh and clear star-shaped highlights.

• Multiple special lenses: 2 aspherical lenses, 3 ED lenses, 3 HRI lenses.

• Clean, rounded bokeh effect with no onion ring artifacts.

• Very low chromatic aberration even at maximum aperture (f/1.4).

• Excellent distortion control for accurate wide-angle imaging.

• Lightweight design—only 427 grams, ideal for compact devices.

• Selectable aperture ring, supporting both click and silent modes for hybrid use.

• High-performance optical system—features 13 groups of 11 elements, including aspherical lenses, high refractive index glass, and ultra-low dispersion glass.

The Simera 21mm f/1.4 brings a wide-angle perspective to the Simera Series, combining a broad field of view with precise optical optimization. Its optical structure includes 2 aspherical lenses, 3 high refractive index lenses, and 3 ultra-low dispersion lenses, working together to suppress chromatic aberrations and distortions across the entire frame, ensuring sharp and realistic imaging from edge to edge.

With an ultra-short closest focusing distance of 0.23 meters, photographers can capture subjects up-close while retaining a strong sense of environment, ideal for storytelling and dynamic compositions. The large f/1.4 aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and smooth tonal transitions, while the 14-bladed aperture produces soft, rounded bokeh with almost no onion ring artifacts.

Inheriting the character of the Simera Series, this lens offers subtle tactile resistance at 0.7 meters, marking an effective focus coupling limit, aiding in intuitive focus confirmation in dynamic scenes. The aperture ring with click and silent modes ensures smooth transitions between still photos and videos, and the classic auto-depth indicator helps quickly visualize the focus area.
