YouTuber Matt Osborne compared the Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens with the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 Leica threaded lens.

He took the Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens and the Leica M10 to London for street photography, comparing the Simera 28mm f/1.4 and the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 in terms of sharpness, bokeh, vignetting, and color reproduction.

The Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 lens is visually sharper, featuring a silver lens nose, while the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 has a cooler tone. The background blur of the Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 is as smooth as butter, with slight distortion. The Simera 28mm f/1.4 produces vignetting at full aperture but is sharp enough for wide-open use. Recommended for users who enjoy a manual focus experience.

Matt Osborne recommends the Thypoch Simera 28mm f/1.4 for the following reasons:

-- A more tactile experience -- The focus ring has a soft stop at 0.7 meters

-- Sharper at full aperture

Some screenshots from the video:

-- Natural transitions during focus

-- Shot at f/1.4 wide open
