The Simera-C lens from Thypoch and DZOFILM is smaller yet more powerful for filmmaking.
In collaboration with renowned brand DZOFILM, the emerging brand Thypoch in the field of camera lenses is setting new standards with its Simera-C lens series released at IBC 2024. The Thypoch Simera-C series aims to be one of the most compact T/1.5 cinema lenses, weighing approximately 400 grams. Each lens is priced at USD 879/EUR 799.
The Simera-C lenses share the same optical formula with the existing Simera photography lenses, thus they possess the same image quality and characteristics. To achieve a more circular bokeh effect, these lenses include 16 aperture blades, while the Simera photography version uses 14 aperture blades.
Main Features:
-- Offers 4 focal lengths ranging from 28mm-75mm, ensuring diverse narratives, with a 21mm focal length in planning.
-- Consistent T1.5 large aperture and 16 aperture blades provide a circular and pleasing bokeh effect.
-- Extremely compact and lightweight, weighing just 390-470 grams. Suitable for car, handheld, and gimbal shooting.
-- Highly compatible with mirrorless cameras and cinema cameras (like DJI Ronin 4D).
-- Minimal chromatic aberration with high resolution.
-- Dual focus scales in metric and imperial units.
-- Equipped with an aluminum hard shell case that can accommodate a set of four lenses, compact enough to fit in a suitcase, with a shoulder strap for easy portability.
Simera-C full-frame lenses, covering focal lengths of 28mm, 35mm, 50mm to 75mm (with a 21mm in the future), can handle most shooting scenarios. Equipped with 16 aperture blades and a uniform T1.5 large aperture, these lenses easily create an unparalleled spatial visual impact, enhancing the immersiveness of the image.
Simera-C lenses use aspherical, ED ultra-low dispersion lenses, and high refractive index elements to achieve ultra-high-definition resolution and effectively control dispersion, making them ideal for 8K high-definition video production. Additionally, these lenses employ high refractive index multilayer coatings to minimize flare and ghosts. Even under strong backlight conditions, Simera-C lenses present high contrast and overall clean image quality.
Simera-C lenses are perfectly compatible with Sony Alpha mirrorless cameras, Sony FX cinema cameras, as well as Red, DJI Ronin 4D, and Arriflex cinema cameras.
Pairing the extremely compact Simera-C lenses with autofocus systems such as DJI Focus Pro can simplify equipment operation and reduce the workload for the team, enhancing shooting flexibility. Additionally, when mounted on DJI Ronin 4D FLEX systems and Sony Venice Rialto Extension, Simera-C lenses can easily capture challenging angles such as low-angle shots, over-the-shoulder perspectives, and tight car interior spaces. This setup not only expands film expressiveness but also significantly enhances shooting agility, controllability, and creative scope.
Simera-C lenses have the same 210° focus travel and gear position design. This means there is no need to readjust when changing lenses or accessories. This feature, especially when using stabilizers or sliders, reduces the time required for rebalancing and improves shooting efficiency.
Price and Availability
Simera-C 28mm & 35mm & 50mm & 75mm T/1.5, available for Sony E-Mount, will be sold in a set of four lenses in a black version, priced at USD 3169/EUR 2879.

Classic and Compact: Thypoch Eureka 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. Available Now
After announcing the pre-order of the Eureka 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. in November 2025, Thypoch today officially released this high-performance pancake lens , the latest addition to its vintage line of compact lenses. Following the success of the series' inaugural 50mm lens, the new 28mm model maintains the signature blend of classic aesthetic appeal and cutting-edge optical engineering, offering photographers a wider option.
Inspired by the iconic British legend – the Dallmeyer 35mm f/3.5 Anastigmat mounted on the Ilford Advocate camera, the Eureka 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. embodies a heritage design re-imagined for today. The creation of this lens was born from the Thypoch team's passion for shooting reversal film during long-distance travels, using compact 28mm lenses. Dissatisfied with the market's lack of options that were truly small, elegant, and exhibited minimal vignetting—a critical flaw for reversal film, where dark corners significantly impact viewing pleasure, unlike digitally adjustable files—they decided to develop their own.
Thypoch’s optical designers iterated through three distinct versions before arriving at the optimal result seen today, achieving outstanding resolution, minimal vignetting, and low distortion—all within an exceptionally compact form to meet the demands of fine reversal film. The brass body offers a durable build and a warm, vintage feel, while the solid mechanical design ensures dependable performance. Weighing just 137g with a 19.5mm height, the lens is incredibly compact and easy to carry.
With one aspherical element and three high-refractive-index (HRI) elements, paired with modern multi-layer nano coatings, the lens delivers excellent sharpness from center to edge while effectively controlling aberrations and flare. Images are crisp and detailed in focus, with smooth, natural out-of-focus areas. The 8-blade aperture creates distinctive starbursts under point light sources, adding a subtle artistic touch.
To match this optical excellence, countless hours were dedicated to refining the fine white paint finish and perfecting the surface texture of the black version. The Pearl White version has a subtle, soft sheen that feels gentle and warm in the light, while the Matte Black is smooth, durable, and exudes a calm, elegant presence, making the Eureka 28mm a precision instrument for the artist, and a work of art in itself.
Besides the M mount version, Thypoch also specially releases an X mount version and an M-X adapter to maintain the aesthetic consistency between the camera body and the lens based on the refined, vintage appearance of Eureka and the design of Fujifilm cameras. Even when adapted, its compact size remains lightweight and balanced, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate classic aesthetics without compromising modern optical quality.

1. All brass body with extremely compact size weighing just 137g with a 19.5~21.9 mm height （M & X Mount Available）
2. Classic appearance design in the 1950s
3. Epoch Coating M. for modern and clean image style
4. 7 elements in 4 groups
5. Featuring 1 aspherical element and three high-refractive-index (HRI) elements for outstanding sharpness from center to edge

Thypoch enters autofocus market with Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8 for Sony E-mount
The first full-frame autofocus zoom developed by a Chinese optical brand, in a constant f/2.8 internal-zoom design
Shenzhen, China, May 14, 2026. Thypoch today announced the Voyager 24-50mm f/2.8, the first full-frame autofocus zoom developed by a Chinese optical brand and Thypoch’s first AF lens. Built for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Voyager uses an internal zoom mechanism that holds physical length fixed across the focal range, with a constant f/2.8 aperture from 24mm through 50mm.
Three Primes in One Lens
A photographer working with primes typically carries 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Those three focal lengths cover the working distances that define documentary, reportage, environmental portrait, street, and event photography. The 24mm captures a full scene when there isn’t room to step back. The 35mm sees roughly the way the eye sees, which is why it remains the working perspective of reportage and documentary photography. The 50mm isolates a subject without flattening the space around it.
Nick Simpson
The 24-50mm range was chosen as a balance of size, design, and price point. It covers the focal lengths working photographers reach for daily. The Voyager fits an internal zoom mechanism, holds f/2.8 across the range, and stays compact enough to live on the camera all day.
The Voyager is designed to deliver image quality comparable to a dedicated prime across the zoom range, whether the working perspective is the breadth of 24mm, the reportage view of 35mm, or the subject isolation of 50mm. The result is one lens that does the work of three primes, in the size and weight of one.
Fixed Length, Constant Aperture
A fixed-length zoom that holds f/2.8 across the range removes two of the most common interruptions in fast-paced shooting: rebalancing a gimbal between focal lengths, and recalculating exposure as the aperture shifts.
The Voyager’s internal zoom mechanism keeps the barrel length constant from 24mm to 50mm. The center of gravity stays in place during a take. The fixed barrel is also more mechanically stable in the hand than an extending zoom, which translates to a steadier grip during handheld work.
The f/2.8 maximum aperture is held throughout the zoom range. From dim interiors and twilight streets to backlit portraits, f/2.8 delivers the brightness and subject separation that working photographers need when light is scarce. Exposure stays consistent across focal lengths. The lens stays out of the way of the shot.
The fixed barrel also eliminates lens creep when the camera is stowed, and removes the extending external moving parts that complicate weather sealing on conventional zooms.
A First for Chinese Optical Engineering
The Voyager is the first full-frame autofocus zoom developed by a Chinese optical brand. Combining autofocus, full-frame image coverage, and zoom architecture in a single lens requires coordinated development across optical design, mechanical engineering, AF systems, and electronics.
The Voyager’s autofocus system is designed for fast and quiet operation. Thypoch built the AF unit to stay out of the way of the shot, with response speed intended to keep pace with documentary, street, and event shooting, and quiet operation suited to video work and sound-sensitive environments. The lens features native Sony E-mount autofocus, with support for eye AF, AF-C tracking, and in-camera and lens-side AF/MF switching.
The lens has been tested with current-generation Sony Alpha bodies including the ZV-E1, A7C2, A7CR, A7IV, A7V, A7RIV, A7RV, A7SIII, A9III, and FX3.
Built for Bokeh
Rendering character is where Thypoch has built its reputation, and the Voyager carries that priority into autofocus. The optical design uses 16 elements in 13 groups, including 2 ASPH (aspherical) elements, 3 ED (extra-low dispersion) elements, and 3 HRI (high refractive index) elements. The formula is designed to control aberrations across the frame at all focal lengths.
The 10-blade rounded aperture holds its circular shape across most of the working aperture range, producing rounded out-of-focus highlights at mid apertures and sunstar rendering at smaller apertures.

Optical, Not Digital
The Voyager’s out-of-focus rendering is built into the glass, not added in software. Optical bokeh behaves naturally at the edges of the frame, around specular highlights, and in the transition zones that digital blur tends to flatten. The result is depth that holds up at full resolution and on close inspection.
The transition from sharp focus to background blur happens gradually, the way a lens with character renders rather than the way a lens that’s merely sharp does. Subjects sit forward in the frame with weight and presence, separated from the background without the harsh cutoff that flattens an image.
Sealed at Every Joint
Weather sealing is the difference between a lens that works in the conditions a photographer actually shoots in and a lens that has to be protected from them. The Voyager is built with sealed construction at the lens mount, focus ring, zoom ring, and front element. The internal zoom design contributes to sealing integrity by removing the extending external barrel that creates the most common point of moisture ingress on conventional zooms.
The lens is developed for dust and moisture resistance. Whether the shooting environment is coastal mist or a sudden urban downpour, the Voyager is built to keep working. Paired with Sony’s own weather-sealed Alpha bodies, the lens completes a sealed shooting system rather than introducing a weak point in it.
Cinema Zoom Heritage
The Voyager is Thypoch’s first autofocus lens. Its zoom architecture draws on the parent group’s experience in cinema zoom lens engineering, which includes constant-aperture and internal-zoom designs across multiple cine lens families. Cinema zooms are the discipline in which constant aperture and fixed barrel length were first solved as engineering problems. The Voyager applies that discipline to a stills-format AF lens.
