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.

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 high strength and lightness. Each lens weighs just 380–490g, while the 16mm measures under 7cm in length for an exceptionally compact form factor. This lightweight and compact design 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 ensures reliable performance even in the most challenging shooting environments.

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.
Can I purchase accessories to complete my Simera-C lens setup?
Yes! You can pair your Simera-C lens with compatible accessories to build a complete filmmaking setup. Depending on your shooting needs, you may want to add filters, a matte box, lens support, or other compatible rigging accessories. Please check the specifications of your selected focal length and camera setup to ensure compatibility. Explore our available accessories to find the right additions for your Simera-C lens kit.
Are Simera-C lenses suitable for professional cinema rigs?
Their compact design and cinema-style manual controls make them suitable for many production setups, including handheld rigs, gimbals, and multi-camera workflows. Always verify mount, clearance, matte box, and rig compatibility for your setup.
Do Simera-C lenses have a standard filter size?
Filter sizes vary by focal length. Please refer to the technical specifications of your selected lens to confirm its filter thread and accessory compatibility.
What makes the Simera-C 100mm special?
The Simera-C 100mm extends the series into a longer telephoto perspective. It is designed for cinematic close-ups, facial expressions, reaction shots, and fine details, helping filmmakers draw attention to their subjects.
Is the Simera-C 100mm suitable for portrait shots?
Yes. Its longer focal length is well suited to portrait-style close-ups, helping isolate subjects from the background and create a more compressed cinematic perspective.
