Simera-C | 16/21/28/35/50/75mm T1.5 M/E Mount Manual Cine Lens
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.
Being Modest for Storytelling
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.
The floating element design throughout the Simera-C series enables a closer minimum focusing distance than most rehoused or modified rangefinder lenses. This allows filmmakers to capture greater texture and detail in close-up shots, providing enhanced creative flexibility and depth
Exquisite Optics,Crafting a New Vision
With a meticulously crafted optical structure that incorporates aspherical lenses, low-dispersion elements, and high-refractive-index elements, Simera-C achieves outstanding resolution and exceptional chromatic aberration control, supporting 8K high-resolution production. The aperture blades have been increased from 14 to 16 compared to the Simera photography series, producing smoother, rounder bokeh and minimizing "onion rings" or irregular highlights. This natural and soft background blur enhances image purity and elevates the artistic aesthetics of every shot.
High Contrast forDramatic Depth
The creamy bokeh and moderate high-contrast render the layers of light and shadow with intricate detail, with a striking contrast between highlights and shadows that accentuates the subject, adding dimensionality and spatial depth to the frame. Simera-C is perfectly compatible with high-resolution digital cinema cameras that provides broader dynamic range and rich textures, enhancing the flexibility of post-production.
Meticulous Craftsmanship,Vibrant Colors
Simera-C utilizes advanced vacuum coating and multi-layer anti-reflective coatings to minimize reflections and suppress flaring and ghosting, delivering accurate color reproduction even in backlit conditions. The internal anodized matte-black finish keeps reflectivity below 3.5%, significantly reducing internal stray light reflections. This superior anti-glare capability ensures pristine image quality under complex lighting, capturing both highlights and shadows with impressive clarity, contrast, and depth.
Lightweight Durability,Unrestricted Mobility
Crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the all-metal body of the Simera-C series balances strength and lightness. Each lens weighs between just 369-491 grams, slightly heavier than a 330ml soda can but with a more compact form. This breaks free from the traditional constraints of cinema lenses regarding size and weight, allowing seamless use across handheld, gimbal, or drone setups. The internal dust and splash-resistant design ensure reliable performance even in the most challenging shooting environments.
Streamlined forEffortless Creativity
The compact design reduces reliance on heavy cinema accessories and lightens the load for filmmakers. Multiple focal lengths can be easily packed and carried, making Simera-C particularly suited for travel shoots and documentary work where mobility is key. When paired with auto-focus systems like DJI Focus Pro, operational demands and crew burden are lightened, offering enhanced agility for solo operators and small production teams.
Modular System Integration,Expanding Creative Boundaries
The ultra-compact design of the Simera-C makes it one of the few cinema lens sets compatible with the DJI Ronin 4D. When integrated with the DJI FLEX system, complex setups like low-angle, over-the-shoulder tracking, or tight interior car shots become easy to execute. This compatibility enriches the visual storytelling, enhancing the mobility, operability, and creative freedom on set.
Cine-standard DesignBroad Compatibility
With a maximum image circle of 43.2mm, Simera-C covers full-frame sensors and is compatible with Super 35 and APS-C formats. It’s available in native Sony E-mount and Leica M-mount options.
M-mount Offers Versatility Comparable to PL-mount
With standard M-mount adapters, Simera-C lenses can adapt to various mirrorless cameras (E, RF, Z, L, X mounts) for cross-system use. With a locking M-ARRI adapter, they are also compatible with ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, ALEXA Mini, AMIRA and other ARRI systems. This exceptional compatibility makes it easy to work with everything from entry-level mirrorless cameras to high-end cinema rigs like DJI Ronin 4D, Sony Venice, ARRI, and more.
Refined Techniques for Superb Imagery
Each Simera-C lens undergoes rigorous quality control, crafted with micron-level precision using a combined milling process. This ensures exceptional manufacturing accuracy for each element, reducing optical aberrations like chromatic aberration and astigmatism. The entire series maintains consistent image quality, delivering uniform sharpness from center to edge, whether capturing wide-angle or telephoto scenes, meeting the demands of high-end production.

Amazing contrast, quality and fresh breath of life in every shot, colors look amazing and vibrant, the build quality is insane and only con is it not being autofocus, because using the dji’s lidar focus pro is toooo much work for run and gun
Really love the lens, there’s nothing as good, as compact, and as affordable as the Thypoch Simera C line.
I’ll be getting more of those for sure, and who knows, even collaborating with you guys.

Very pleased with the image quality and the character of the 35mm Simera C. And the customer service is first rate
The 16mm is as well built and cute as all the Simera-Cs and matches the look and sharpness. Close focus is hugely improved however and the focus ring feels very slightly smoother. I use a step-up to 77mm for the filter ring and this allows NDs with no vignetting. Good for a 16mm. Inspiring lens. Can't wait for the 100/105mmm? to complete the set.

Going from only shooting video with photo lenses to using the Simera-C has been a breath of fresh air!
Loving the beautiful image quality and soft fall off around the edges gives my shots a cinema like feel to them without spending thousands!
Only been using them for a few days now but can already tell it’s going to be a great relationship with these lenses!
absolutely beautiful lens with a wonderful character. I will be using these lenses for travel videos lenses because they are so lite to carry
thank you so much thypoch
This was my first cinema lens and I absolutely love it, the quality is unreal. The price was even more shocking. I will be getting the entire collection
Getting the lens wasn't such a great experience. I had to wait for weeks and then I had to pay almost 300 USD taxes to get the lens out of customs. The lens ( 16mm Thypoch simera c ) itself is fantastic. I have all the other cinema lenses from Thypoch and I am extremely happy with all of them. The 16mm is special, because it has such a unique and cinematic feel to it. Very different from other wide angle cinema lenses.
⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) – Poor Fit & Compatibility Issues with Nikon Z8 / ZR
I recently purchased the Thypoch M Lens Mount Adapter (Auto-Lock) along with the 35mm lens, intending to use them on my Nikon Z8 and Nikon ZR
Unfortunately, my experience has been quite disappointing.
Key Issues:
Fit & Mounting Problems:
The adapter does not mount smoothly on either camera body. It feels extremely tight, and I have to apply uncomfortable pressure to attach it. This raises serious concerns about potentially damaging the camera mount.
Poor Alignment / Tolerance:
The fit does not feel precise or well-engineered. For a lens adapter, I expect a secure but smooth mount—this feels forced and unsafe.
Filter Size Mismatch:
The included or specified filter size seems unusually small and does not fit properly as expected, which adds to the frustration.
Build Confidence:
Given the tight fit and resistance, I genuinely feel like continued use could damage the camera mount or lens interface.
Unexpected Import Costs:
I also had to pay around $100 in import duties, which makes the poor performance even harder to justify.
Overall Impression:
For a product in this category, precision and compatibility are critical—and this setup falls short. Between the mounting difficulty, questionable tolerances, and usability concerns, I cannot recommend this adapter/lens combination for Nikon Z users.
In love with the lens, 35mm allowed me to take some incredible shot with this characteristic creamy stamp. I'm thinking to get me with a 28mm Simera for pictures to try soon, thanks for bringing back old days with manual lenses.
Returning from this business is a hassle. I ordered a 35mm Simera C lens and an adapter. I tried to cancel shortly after ordering but was told it had already shipped. After receiving it, I requested a return, but customer service has been extremely slow. It’s been over a month with no return instructions, despite multiple follow-ups.
My recommendation: if you’re in the U.S., don’t order from their official website. Order from Amazon instead, much faster support and easier returns.
Amazing small, lightweight high quality lenses with a nice wide aperture rendering. No minuses. And a very reasonable price. Can be used on pro movie sets as well as simply used as still lenses on your favorite system with M-mount adapter. They are living on my Nikon Zf and ZR currently. Work really well as AF lenses too with AF adapters to Nikon Z.
Had my eyes on these for over a year, so so happy to have them after the Black Friday sale. A huge thankyou to David and the team for their prompt email reply’s, order customisation and fast shipping
How can theentire Simera-C series be compatible with DJI Ronin 4D to focus?
Follow DJI’s official 4D tutorials to calibrate. If there is a situation where the focus cannot be achieved, try to increase the calibration points. This step usually helps the system better identify the target, thereby improving the accuracy of focusing.
Can the filter size of Simera-C be adapted to the 80mm standard matte box?
Yes. For Simera-C 75mm, the inner filter size is M62, and its outer front diameter is M67. For other focal lengths, the outer diameter is M62. All above lenses can be converted to 80mm diameter by using a 62-80mm or a 67-80mm adapter ring to fit in the 80mm matte box on the market.
Are all lenses shipped after focus calibration in the factory?
Yes, all lenses will bestrictly calibrated and checked by DZOFILM Quality Control department.
Lens Storage Environment and Precautions Translation
When not in use, please cover the front and rear caps of the lens;
● To prevent mold, store the lens and filters in a cool, dry place, avoiding direct sunlight, and do not place them with kerosene or camphor balls;
● Keep the lens dry. If it gets damp or has water droplets, please wipe it clean;
● Do not place the lens near a heater or other extremely hot places, as it may cause damage or deformation;
● When moving the lens from a cold place to an area with higher temperature and humidity, fog may form on the glass lens. To avoid fogging, allow the lens to acclimate to the change in environment before using it.
Why doesn't the correct aperture valuedisplay on the camera when the Simera-C series is installed?
Answer: Because the Simera-C lens has no electronic contacts, the value cannot be displayed on the camera.
