Over the past few years, cinema cameras have become remarkably smaller, driving the demand for compact, high-performance cine lenses. The Simera-C responds to this need by blending the design legacy of classic rangefinder lenses with DZOFILM’s cinema DNA and cutting-edge optical technology. This fusion achieves a perfect balance between the precision of still photography and the cinematic quality of motion picture imagery within an incredibly compact form.

Simera-C delivers beautifully smooth bokeh and natural edge fall-off, offering exceptional dimensionality for storytelling. It captures a raw and naturalistic aesthetic with clean chromatic aberration control and human-eye-like field curvature even at wide open. The flare is subtly managed to capture highlights without overwhelming the image, keeping the storytelling pure and authentic.

Fast Aperture for Cinematic Depth

Fast Aperture for Cinematic Depth

The Simera-C comprises 7 focal lengths—16mm, 21mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm—covering ultra-wide to telephoto perspectives to offer a versatile range of storytelling possibilities.


The 16mm and 100mm feature fast T1.9 , while the others offer faster T1.5. The 16mm combines an ultra-wide field of view with excellent distortion control and a lightweight design. The 100mm brings emotion into focus with its telephoto perspective, offering greater exposure flexibility in low light.


Across the series, shallow depth of field and smooth focus transitions create a natural separation between subject and background, adding dimension while drawing attention to the characters and their emotions as well as fine detail and natural color rendition, a strong foundation for color grading, giving filmmakers the freedom to shape every frame with feeling and poetic expression.

The lens surfaces feature the standard low-saturation blue coating of the Simera-C series, ensuring a consistent color reproduction across the entire lineup. This significantly reduces color grading time when shooting with multi-cam setups or switching between lenses. Additionally, the lens is built with a 16-blade iris, identical to other focal lengths in the series. When stopping down, it delivers smooth, harmonious bokeh while producing a symmetrical and well-defined 16-point sunstar effect.

High Contrast for Dramatic Depth

High Contrast for Dramatic Depth

The creamy bokeh and moderate high contrast render the layers of light and shadow with intricate delicacy, while the striking juxtaposition of sharp focus and soft defocus beautifully accentuates the subject, lending a powerful sense of three-dimensionality and spatial depth to the frame. Perfectly compatible with high-resolution digital cinema cameras, the 16mm delivers a peak center resolution of up to 85 lp/mm even when facing the rigorous demands of high-megapixel sensors. This exceptional resolving power unlocks broader dynamic range and rich cinematic textures, significantly enhancing creative latitude and flexibility in post-production.

The focus and iris rings across the entire series feature a standard 0.8 MOD gear pitch, making them compatible with common follow focus systems and cinema accessories. The consistent gear positioning ensures that no readjustment is needed when swapping lenses or accessories. The 28/35/50mm lenses share the same barrel length, while the 16/21/75mm/100mm are slightly longer. Their similar lengths and weights maintain a consistent handling feel when changing lenses, and significantly reduce the time required to rebalance gimbals or sliders, boosting on-set efficiency. The Simera-C 100mm lens features a 67mm front filter thread, identical to the 75mm, allowing for quick reuse of screw-on filters and accessories across multiple lenses.


A 210° focus throw provides ample room for manual focus operation, and the moderate damping ensures smooth and stable adjustments of the focus ring. This makes the focusing process highly controllable—allowing you to easily achieve gradual focus pulls or precise shallow depth of field control.
